SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Ambit Networks, creator of Ambygear smartwatches, and Vigilint™ Biosensors, leading supplier of Family Assistant Parental Services through smartwatches, have reached an agreement to merge AmbyGear sales/marketing, fulfillment, and branding into Vigilint™ Biosensors. This serves Ambit’s pre-order, reservation and prospective customers to fulfill the vision of AmbyGear and accelerates the reach of Vigilint’s Family Assistant into the Ambygear community.

“I am excited to extend AmbyGear operations into our Family Assistant infrastructure,” said Kris Narayan, Chairman of Vigilint™ Biosensors.  “The recent spike in school shootings demands a critical focus on the safety of our children. Ambit and Vigilint have been developing cloud services through wearables with GPS tracking, advanced sensors and communications to protect and encourage children.” 

“Joining with Vigilint increases the resources and expands the AmbyGear vision to better establish our leadership in this new market,” added Patrick Muggler, CEO of Ambit Networks. “With this agreement, Vigilint will market into the thousands of Ambygear customers.” 

Vigilint Biosensors, formed in 2017, is the leader in utilizing artificial intelligence and cloud notifications into a parenting ‘web assistant’ that transforms parent interaction with their children. After a successful hawkeye smartwatch and Family Assistant launch, Vigilint is continuing to further develop products and services with several launches planned for 2018.

 “Vigilint’s Family Assistant Parental Services provide parents with life altering insights collected from the child’s smartwatch that can save a child from a dangerous situation or radically improve their quality of care,” said Gil Amelio, PhD, Vigilint Board Advisor and previously CEO of Apple Computers. Dr. Amelio continued, “Joining together of Vigilint and Ambit Networks expands and accelerates their path to realization.”

“Through my experiences as a mother and community activitist, I have seen how the lack of a caring communicative family environment and family separation can damage a child,” said Patricia Suflita Wilson, community evangelist and previously CEO of Make-A-Wish Foundation. Ms. Wilson continues, “AmbyGear is developing a great product that will help kids learn social skills while providing parents peace of mind.“

The first jointly marketed product is the hawkeye smartwatch with Family Assistant Parental Services including: no contract voice/data/text service for $10/mo., voice messaging, SOS calls, impact sensors, pedometer and parental controlled calling.
