November 14th 2011 - Geonovo Limited, the designers and manufacturers of the Romad RSP-100 have won first prize at a “Dragon’s Den” type competition held by the UKT&I on 31st October 2011 at Centerpoint in London.
The prize; a stand place on the UK Trade & Investment exhibition area at the renowned Mobile World Congress Expo in Barcelona 2012.
The format was for twelve contestants to deliver a three minute pitch followed by a grilling by a panel of industry experts handpicked by the UKT&I.
Peter Lusty, CEO of Geonovo gave a polished performance and won over the judges with flying colours, beating some stiff competition.
Regarding the event Peter said, “you never know what to expect from competitions such as this, but I believed we had a good chance to win because we are that rare thing - a British company designing and developing products for export from the UK.
We have built a strong reputation by delivering a consistently high quality product in the form of the Romad RSP100 handset, which is already being used by Cruz Roja (Red Cross Spain) to protect over 5000 people from domestic violence and has also been selected for a 1500 device trial for dementia monitoring”.
The New Product for 2012
Geonovo Limited are launching a new generation of telecare devices based on the RSP-2xx platform that will commence production in Q1 2012 with the launch of the RSP-200 eHealth handset taking place at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The range of RSP-2xx devices will meet all the requirements of healthcare users through an unrivalled combination of technology and firmware functionality including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a 3D accelerometer for fall detection and motion sensing and a large colour screen. It will also achieve a ‘first’ for a product of this type in that it will be able to provide indoor tracking to complement its excellent outdoor GPS performance.
Working both within and outside the home, the RSP-200 will automatically chose the best communications option and provide unrivalled telecare and personal protection monitoring as well as connectivity to, and data capture from, home telehealth systems.
Peter Lusty commented “Our new offering, the RSP-200, will surpass expectations and become a world leading telecare product during the course of next year. Not only are we very excited about the launch of our new device, but we have now been given the opportunity to showcase it to the world at Barcelona in 2012”
