Marketwired
Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: FLXT),
(http://www.flexpoint.com/) today announced that following the
recently announced favorable universal settlement in the legal case
involving a series of products featuring technologies that use Bend
Sensor® technology, Flexpoint has resumed development of two
projects with BendTech, LLC, which feature Flexpoints' Patented
Bend Sensor® technology.
BendTech is currently in the process of finalizing funding
arrangements to complete the development and production for
commercial launch early next year. BendTech envisions that the
product will be marketed to and through a limited number of bed
manufacturers. After a review of the current market, and the cost
and time required to complete development and to have a product
ready for market, BendTech has determined that they will focus on
development of the following projects:
Infant and Adult Mattress Covers that Monitor
and Collect Data
- According to Pediatrics Journal, Nearly 10,000 children are
taken to the emergency room each year -- an average of one every
hour -- after falling or becoming wedged or caught in cribs,
playpens, and bassinets that can easily be prevented.
- SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and SUDC or Sudden
Unexplained Death in Childhood
- Over 3000 infants die from SIDS and SUDC in the U.S. each
year
- We can help create a safe sleep environment, (as defined by the
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development), by
constant real time monitoring of infants sleeping positions,
movement and temperature. We can send an alarm when sleeping
environment has changed
- Over 2.5 million adults are in assisted care facilities now
- It is estimated that number will increase to over 3.3 million
by 2020
Tony DeGreef of BendTech stated, "With the advantages available
utilizing the Bend Sensor®, we believe that we can help create a
safe sleep environment for infants in cribs, help parents monitor
their infants and keep them safe at a low cost. With slight
variations, the same technology can be adapted to monitor adults in
assisted care facilities and assist medical workers maintain a
proper standard of care for patients by monitoring and tracking
patient activity. Since the technology of the products is so
similar, development on both systems will take place
simultaneously. Both of these systems will include interactive
monitoring devices for real time monitoring of the infant or adult
in the bed."
Clark Mower, President of Flexpoint stated, "We are pleased to
be involved again in the development and production of sensors for
these innovative and creative products. There are significant
advantages offered by the application of the Bend Sensor®
technology in these products. The products involved represent years
of innovative development, and we are excited to see them progress
and be positioned to realize their significant market
potential."
