Life is a journey We wanted the Lifeline Vi to reflect the time we’ve spent working with our customers to understand their needs for a telecare service. The Lifeline Vi is a huge leap forward to incorporate as much of their ‘wish list’ as we practically could in an economically viable package, and a smaller, more attractive unit. It also has unique features which make it easier to use and more flexible than its predecessors. Richard Sharp | Group Product Development Director 10
