Nacka municipality is the first municipality in Sweden that purchases Digital Care as a service and a function rather than individual alarm products for their citizens, but several municipalities in Sweden intend to procure digital care services during 2018. Approximately 30 municipalities per year in Sweden procure/renew their care programs annually. Today there exist app 200.000 safety alarm users in Sweden, which is the first target market for digital care services. In general, the revenue from this alarm service is app 1000 SEK/user and year. The potential cost savings for a municipality are significant and have been estimated by authorities through a website calculation tool; Välfärdsnurran. An average sized municipality in Sweden may achieve millions in cost savings over a couple of years.
The due diligence process with Vital Integration have been initiated and is estimated to be finalized by the end of April.
