PRESS RELEASE
Making active aging technology conveniently available to those who need it most.
SAN DIEGO ­ October 15, 2014 ­
The rollout of GreatCall¹s lineup, including the easy-to-use Touch3, Splash and Jitterbug5 ­ and through them, a portfolio of health and safety services - at Rite Aid will be completed by mid-October 2014. The custom displays include the full product range, demo phones and brochures.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the cost of providing health care for one person aged 65 or older is three to five times higher than the cost for someone younger than 65. By providing an easier and more convenient method of managing health needs, GreatCall is bringing older adults into the mobile health revolution, which benefits the health care system and also provides this population of people with much needed support.
³Today¹s older adults are redefining the way we age, and GreatCall¹s mission is to provide them with usable solutions to keep them thriving,² said Bill Yates, CMO of GreatCall. ³Through Rite Aid, a company that shares our mission, we are bringing this vision to life. This is a critical step in a broader active aging strategy.²
The companies¹ shared commitment to wellness aligns at a number of levels, from the Rite Aid pharmacy app that comes preloaded on all Touch3 smartphones sold at Rite Aid to a much broader focus on the 65+ market ­ and the collateral and outreach to support it.
