Investing in the Next Generation of Safety

In August of 2019, we announced that we were ending sale and support of the legacy version of the Hugs, Pedz and Passport solutions on the LonWorks/HPS platform. We did this because the underlying technology is more than 25 years old.

Launched in 2013, our next-gen solution offers significant advancements to help clinical and security staff better protect newborns against modern security risks. It was time to lead the market to the next stage of infant protection.
