/EINPresswire.com/ -- SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwired - January 24, 2017) - Mission Pharmacal Company ("Mission") today announced it has invested in the company Elements of Genius ("Elements") and their flagship product Wellnest™. This investment comes as Elements prepares for the July 1, 2017, launch of Wellnest -- a mobile device worn by seniors and designed to enhance the user's health and wellness -- further expanding Mission's reach into the senior care market.

"Mission is committed to improving and enhancing the quality of life for all patients," says Terry Herring, Mission's President of Commercial Operations. "We are investing in the Wellnest technology platform because we believe it aids elderly patients with medication compliance and other vital needs. Improving patient compliance is the foundation to better health outcomes, which leads to an improved quality of life."

Wellnest is the first wearable product with Amazon Alexa capability. Alexa is Amazon's cloud-based voice service. With this integration and other features built into the product, Wellnest provides several key benefits to the end user. Chief among these are:

  • Medication reminders and confirmation
  • Prescription refills via Amazon Alexa interaction
  • Uber "Delivery" and "Ride Requests" functionality to assist with medication delivery and/or transportation as needed via the Uber transportation network company
  • Global positioning to help family members know the precise locations of their loved ones
  • 911 alert capabilities (both user activated and in the event of a slip and fall)

"We develop mobile products that connect people and enhance their health and wellness," notes Element's Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Ramaci. "As such, we are excited to have Mission on board as a partner. They have developed a strong reputation in the long-term care market, and we are excited with the potential to work with their sales teams to assist in getting Wellnest to those who need it most -- seniors and their families."

In addition to this new agreement with Mission, Elements has existing product development and marketing partnerships in place with AT&T and Verizon. For more information about Mission or its family of companies, please visit missionpharmacal.com.
