Gmate SMART meter

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Philosys, Inc. announces today that all Kmart pharmacies nationwide are now offering the Gmate(R) SMART Blood Glucose Monitoring System, the latest in mHealth technology for diabetes management. Gmate SMART is available in all Kmart pharmacies as of September 2015. The Gmate SMART meter and App deliver fast and accurate blood glucose test results right to your smartphone. The Gmate SMART connects to the headphone jack of a smartphone. The Gmate SMART(TM) App is a free download on the App Store(TM) and Google Play(TM) store.

The Gmate SMART App stores an unlimited number of test results electronically with the date and time. There is no longer a need to write down blood glucose test results. A user can also add custom comments, actions or notes to each test result. The SMART App allows the user to email or SMS (text message) any test result or group of results to their doctor, caregiver or family member. The Gmate SMART is providing a faster and smarter way to manage diabetes.

As cloud technology grows, Philosys is working to create an App-to-Cloud secure connection in the next generation of updates. This will allow the user to setup a personal account with a secure login and password. The user will have the ability to see and manage test results online through a HIPPA compliant server and share their results with their physician or caregiver. The physician or caregiver will be able to set up alerts when the patient's test results are out of range. When an out of range test result is logged, the physician or caregiver will receive an email or text notification, alerting them to contact the patient.

Another great advantage Gmate SMART offers is the affordable cost of the test strips. At Kmart pharmacy, the Gmate SMART meter lists for $13.99 and the Gmate Test Strips list for $14.99, for a box of 50 test strips. This innovative meter will give customers an economical way to test their blood sugar and help them manage their diabetes effectively.

The Gmate SMART is changing the way we manage diabetes by improving health and lifestyle.

James Allen to Collaborate with Sears in Redefining Omni-Channel Bridal Jewelry

James Allen Boutique at Sears

NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- James Allen, a leading engagement ring and certified loose diamond retailer, announced today that it is working with Sears to provide an exclusive and innovative in-store shopping experience at 16 Sears locations throughout New York, Maryland and Puerto Rico.

The James Allen boutiques are located at the heart of Sears' jewelry department and are staffed by a select team of engagement ring specialists. Elegantly designed as a high-end jewelry boutique, every James Allen store-in-store offers 120 styles and thousands to choose from online. The state-of-the-art experience offers couples the opportunity to try on engagement rings and then select their dream diamond to be set on their ring of choice.

James Allen offers high quality GIA, AGS, and IGI certified loose diamonds and beautiful gemstones, all at an extraordinary value, allowing customers to save thousands of dollars compared to traditional brick and mortar jewelry stores. James Allen's proprietary 360-degree diamond Display Technology allows customers to see the beauty and unique characteristics of each diamond - Shape, Cut, Color, and Clarity. Shoppers can browse thousands of certified loose diamonds in stunning 360-degree high-definition video displayed on a customized tablet interface. This proprietary viewing experience, made possible through unique photography of every diamond from every angle, takes the guess work out of diamond shopping.

"We couldn't be more excited to be working with Sears. What James Allen brings to the table is a continuation of the Sears' tradition-giving people an inviting and affordable place to shop for high quality engagement rings," says Oded Edelman, James Allen's CEO.

The James Allen store concept expands the boundaries of omni-channel retailing through its unique bricks and clicks model. Sears' shoppers have the additional convenience of seeing an engagement ring in-store, saving their selection to a Wish List, and then continuing their purchase at home. Once the final decision and purchase have been made, the ring is hand set in New York City before being shipped via insured Priority FedEx.

"The ability to work with James Allen to combine quality, customized design with a seamless shopping experience underscores Sears' commitment to integrated retail," said Vijay Talwar, president and SVP of Gifts and Special Occasions. "In this case, we're moving beyond a digital relationship to a true collaboration with an online brand, maximizing their reach through multi-platform capabilities that allow us to surpass shopper expectations. We're especially looking forward to delivering the experience to Sears' customers and Shop Your Way members during the holiday gifting and engagement season."
