Our company-www.mauiagewave.com is looking for telecare products which can help our baby boomers to age in place.
We’re especially interested in serving companies who have health applications for the iPhone which they’d like to beta test, or conduct demonstration projects, or begin distributing in Hawaii.
Hawaii has excellent test marketing segments with our diverse SES, ethnic groups and rural areas.
Thank you,
