Patients are also able to program the unit to remind them of their drug type, dose and intake time. LifeWatch V with add-on service offering: LifeWatch V was designed with a flexible service-product ecosystem in mind, allowing easy integration of services. The LifeWatch V handset unit includes a service enablement platform to support the transmission of medical data to be analyzed, evaluated and communicated to health professionals and call center personnel around the clock.
