Applied Digital Solutions is looking for high-tech solutions for both itself and its customers. While the bulk of the company's sales come from its networking and enterprise software and service offerings, Applied Digital is counting on growth through development of new technologies such as its Digital Angel products, which marry remote sensing and identification technologies to allow tracking of at-risk people such as Alzheimer's patients. (The company is setting up Digital Angel as a separate company through a deal with Medical Advisory Systems.) In an effort to stem a tide of losses and refocus on its core offerings and its development of new technologies, Applied Digital has divested many noncore assets.Medical Advisory Systems (MAS) now surfs the Net as well as the shining seas. Once a provider of medical advice to seafarers, the company now serves land-lubbers too. Physicians give advice by phone through the company's DocTalk service. MAS also provides pharmaceutical kits; medical and other assistance to foreign travelers in North America; and medical advice to those in remote locations. MAS is buying Digital Angel, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, to enhance its remote monitoring capabilities; it also plans to change its name to Digital Angel Corporation.
"Digital Angel Corporation"
Sure.
