ATLANTA – Unique Wellness first made waves two years ago when it took home a 2013 Innovative HME Retail Product award at Medtrade 2013. The Brooklyn, NY-based Unique Wellness won the award for its briefs and underwear, which were specifically displayed with an eye toward retail.
“We were the first ever incontinence product to be featured on the Discovery Channel’s How Stuff Works, and NASA may be using our products soon as well,” says Steve Goelman, founder and CEO, Unique Wellness. “These days there are even more opportunities for retail, cash-based items [aka caretailing], and Medtrade is a prime location for us to exhibit. There’s a tremendous amount of interest.”
Incontinence is a large and growing market, and Goelman encourages Medtrade attendees to visit Booth #1769 for more information about the company’s proprietary technology.

O2 Concepts Offers Smart POCs at Medtrade
LOS ANGELES – O2 Concepts (Booth #811 at Medtrade) has reimagined non-delivery, stepping forward as the first manufacturer to create a smart POC integrated over the Verizon Network, benefitting dealers and patients alike.
DNA Technology™ (Dynamic Network Analysis) allows oxygen providers to monitor all devices remotely for location, usage and performance, as well as troubleshoot to prevent any unnecessary dispatches. Web portals, mobile applications, and automated custom alerts allow drivers and therapists to monitor equipment usage and data such as oxygen flow, purity, device hours and more in real time.
“Information is everything, and not knowing the answers to these questions cost oxygen providers big,” says CEO Rob Kent. “However, for the first time IoT (internet of things) technology is emerging in this space. IoT integrates equipment information into a central database over the web, and is already showing revolutionary leaps in efficiency in the transportation and aviation sectors.”
The technology for these machines is truly a breakthrough, and serves as an additional upgrade to a machine that already comes equipped with a standard 5-year warranty and maintains a 24/7 reliability standard.
O2 Concepts will provide live demonstrations at Medtrade Fall 2015 to showcase the full spectrum of DNA Technology™ and its capabilities. To see the smart fleets in action, visit Booth #811.
