on

Did you know that as of 2023, there were approximately fifty-six million senior citizens (aged 65 and older) in the United States? Approximately thirty percent of these older adults experience some form of personal emergency annually in the form of an accident, fall, or medical event.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — To ensure greater personal security and responsiveness in these situations, instant emergency alerts, real-time location tracking, and rapid access to help must be generated.

“This partnership is yet another example of how our singular approach to innovative telematics, personal safety applications, and contact center emergency services are delivering timely solutions.” Norm Phipps

Working in the background to address the well-being of these nearly seventeen million mature individuals and the peace of mind of their loved ones is Viiz, a leading provider of 24/7/365 emergency, customer care, and contact center services.

“Viiz is excited to be working with Consumer Cellular,” states Viiz President and CEO, Norm Phipps. “This partnership is yet another example of how our singular approach to innovative telematics, personal safety applications, and contact center emergency services are delivering timely solutions that provide compassionate support and peace of mind to seniors, loved ones, families, and their caregivers.”

Upon activation of the Consumer Cellular IRIS Ally Medical Alert Device, a Viiz Agent provides a voice-call response, and the Viiz professional monitoring technology platform pulls in a full range of enhanced data to assist the agent’s support of the situation. The agent triages the problem and quickly transmits appropriate information to first responders to address the need.

“For almost three decades, the ongoing mission of Consumer Cellular has been to provide technology and human support solutions that address the needs of America’s over-fifty population,” states Ed Evans, CEO, Consumer Cellular. “Our partnership with Viiz and its innovative and customer-centric services is an important demonstration of that commitment.”

The IRIS Ally one-touch emergency response device features fall detection, two-way communications, and GPS tracking, along with cellular technology to identify a user’s location. IRIS Ally operates off the Consumer Cellular wireless network, so users are not bound to a Wi-Fi connection or hub located in the home. The device may be worn around the neck with a lanyard or on the hip with a provided clip, both options provide full functionality of the device. IRIS Ally is also water and weather-resistant, making it suitable for use in the shower and wet outdoor conditions.

This January 8th would have been the King’s Birthday. Gone but never forgotten, his image, music, films and memories live on as a testament to his true effect and influence on his generation and future generations to come. The original American Rock-n-Roll Idol who influenced the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and anyone that has ever picked up a guitar or a microphone since, continues to engage our love affair with his all American story of a shy poor and humble country boy that became the King of Rock-n-Roll. Elvis Presley, recognized by TIME magazine as the “Artist of the 20th Century,” has sold more records than any other artist or group in the history of modern music. Even after death, his image and music continue to be loved and celebrated throughout the world. With the critically acclaimed big screen biopic “Elvis” by director Baz Luhrmann starring Austin Butler as Elvis and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s music and charisma are once again in the spotlight for a whole new generation and there’s no sign of the King leaving the building of Rock-n-Roll icon status.

Keeping the memory alive at countless venues throughout the country, Chris MacDonald lovingly shares the magic of the “King of Rock-n-Roll” with his full production tribute Memories of Elvis. Chris’s show is not an overdone impersonation. It is a natural heartfelt tribute to a legendary performer and music icon. With his dynamic production band, Chris MacDonald draws his audience in with the look, sounds, and nuances that made Elvis the King of Rock-n- Roll!

Adding to the authenticity of his tribute, Chris MacDonald has the honor of being the only tribute artist hired by Elvis Presley Enterprises to perform at Graceland’s Heartbreak Hotel. An energetic and experienced entertainer, MacDonald has also starred in the famous “Legends in Concert” stage productions and has performed in Branson, MO, and Las Vegas, NV. Chris has also performed in Concert with Elvis Presley’s original back up group The Jordanaires and D.J. Fontana Elvis original drummer “The Beat Behind The King” at the famous Seminole Hard Rock Live Concert Venue in Hollywood Florida and other venues throughout the country.

With this newly updated production, the show will include costume changes and songs representing the different stages of Elvis’s incredible career including the 1950′s, the Movies, the 1968 Comeback and the 1970′s White Fringe Vegas Concerts. It’s all a part of this fun loving tribute to one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
