History

Founded in 1991, ActiveCare (formerly Volu-Sol) has been aided by some of the world’s largest companies, including Matsushita Electric Works (Panasonic), which was not only an investor in the company, but has helped to shape its technologies.

Focused on bringing the doctor back into the home, ActiveCare was granted its first patents and technologies through a relationship with Uniden and Philips, that gave the company the right to use the Magnavox brand name for security and emergency products marketed to the elderly.

In 2000, the company received additional patents and products centered on a single-button emergency cellular phone called Mobile 911. In 2001, additional patents were issued that combined emergency mobile devices with global positioning systems (GPS) technologies, allowing ActiveCare to pinpoint a member’s location.

The MobilePAL 1000 was then the first cellular device to incorporate GPS location technology. In 2002, Matsushita became a strategic investor and development partner, helping MobilePAL to evolve into a more solid and reliable technology.

In 2003 and 2004, the company filed for additional patents and developed several new products including the TravelPAL. TravelPAL was developed for use in automobiles and has been sold through Radio Shack and ADT.

In 2005, the company created the TrackerPAL, an offender tracking device designed to help law enforcement agencies monitor offenders.

Key to all of these products was the development and evolution of four monitoring centers which were pioneers in locating technology, actively tracking and assisting members and law enforcement needs.

In December of 2008, ActiveCare separated from RemoteMDx in a “spin-off” creating a new and separate company.
