Two USF faculty members from different disciplines helped develop a new medical alert system that works proactively – providing ongoing monitoring rather than waiting for a reactive push of a button or pull on an emergency cord.
Teaming up are Carla VandeWeerd, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Community and Family Health at the USF College of Public Health, and Ali Yalcin PhD, associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at the USF College of Engineering.
