Guest: Ian Kinny
Presenter: Wayne Bucklar
Guest Bio: After 30 years experience in the construction industry as a general manager on some major projects, Ian decided on a sea change. Ian filled his new found spare time following his life long passion of computer programing. When a neighbour needed a mobile solution for his emergency button Ian developed the world’s first low energy blue tooth mobile emergence device. The eButton is helping hospital in the home patients, seniors, the disabled, and those at threat of domestic violence to be in instant contact with their loved ones in cases of emergency.

Segment overview: In today’s Health Supplier Segment, we are joined by inventor of the eButton Ian Kinny to share the personal safety device’s history and various applications. Among its features is that one click sends a message to your help contact list. The eButton is light weight and has a sleek design. It runs on coin cell batteries, there are no ongoing fees, the location of the person needing assistance is sent to the help contact so they can easily come to their aid and it works where your mobile works with a range of up to 15 meters from your phone. It gives carers, parents and employers peace of mind. The eButton is very easy to use and understand. It gives users the freedom to live a social life with the peace of mind that help is at hand should a fall or other emergency occur.
