IDEAL LIFE's Remote Monitoring System Benefits Rural North Carolina Communities
Date:8/3/2009

TORONTO, August 3 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAL LIFE, INC. announced today that their wireless remote monitoring devices have been selected for use in a state-funded healthcare project in six rural North Carolina communities.
