Services Administration (“GSA”) that enables the Company to distribute its products to federal, state, and local governments (the “GSA Agreement”). Overview LogicMark builds technology to remotely check, manage and monitor a loved one’s health and safety. The Company is focused on modernizing remote monitoring to help people stay safe and live independently longer. We believe there are five trends driving the demand for better remote monitoring systems: 1. The “Silver Tsunami”. With 11,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 in the U.S. every day, there will be more older adults than children under 18 for the first time in the near future. With 65 million “Baby Boomers” in the United States, they are not only one of the largest generations, but the wealthiest. Unlike generations before them, Baby Boomers are reliant and comfortable with technology. Most of them expect to live independently at their home. 2. Shift to At-Home Care. As it stands, the current healthcare system is unprepared for the human resource strain and is shifting much of the care elderly patients used to receive at a hospital, medical or assisted living facility to the patient’s home. The rise of digital communication to support remote care increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for connected and remote monitoring devices is more necessary and in-demand than ever before. 3. Rise of Data and IoT. Doctors and clinicians are asking patients to track more and more vital signs. Whether it’s how they’re reacting to medication or tracking blood sugar, patients and their caregivers are participating in their healthcare in unprecedented ways. Consumers are using data collected from connected devices like never before. This data can be used to prevent health emergencies as technology companies use machine learning (“ML”) / artificial intelligence (“AI”) to learn patient patterns and alert the patient and their care team of potential emergencies, leading to a switch from reacting to problems after they occur to predicting potential problems before they occur. 4. Lack of Healthcare Workers. It’s estimated that 20% of healthcare workers quit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many healthcare workers who were working during the COVID-19 pandemic suffered from burnout, exhaustion and demoralization due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were not enough healthcare workers to support our entire population throughout the pandemic, let alone enough to support our elderly population. The responsibility of taking care of elderly family members is increasingly falling on the family, and they need help. 5. Rise of the Care Economy. The term “Care Economy” refers to the money people contribute to care for people until the end of their lives; the Care Economy offsets the deficiencies within the healthcare system and the desire to age in place. There has been little innovation in the industry because the majority of PERS are operated by home security companies. It is not their main line of business, and they have little expertise in developing or launching machine-learning algorithms or artificial intelligence. Together, we believe these trends have produced a large and growing market opportunity for LogicMark. The Company enjoys a strong base of business with the VHA and plans to expand to other government agencies after being awarded the five-year GSA Agreement in July 2021, which is renewable for up to 25 years. 1 The PERS Opportunity PERS, also known as a medical alert or medical alarm system, is designed to detect a threat that requires attention and then immediately contacts a trusted caregiver and/or the emergency medical workforce. Unlike conventional alarm systems which consist of a transmitter and are activated in the case of an emergency, PERS transmits signals to an alarm monitoring medical team, which then departs for the location where the alarm was activated. These types of medical alarms are traditionally utilized by the disabled, elderly or those living alone. The PERS market is generally divided into direct-to-consumer and healthcare customer channels. With the advent of new technologies, demographic changes, and our five previously stated trends in healthcare, an expanded opportunity exists for LogicMark to provide at-home and on-the-go health and safety solutions to both customer channels.…
