Stanley Black & Decker Getting Into Healthcare: CES 2019

TThe names Black & Decker and Stanley conjure thoughts of sawing wood planks, drilling holes, as well as mixing up dough for your secret bread recipe. They certainly don’t make one think of medical devices. But the joined company, called Stanley Black & Decker, now has a division called STANLEY Healthcare that already has a number of products designed specifically for use in clinics and by patients at home.

At CES 2019, the company was presenting its new Pria by BLACK+DECKER Home Care Companion, a smart device that can dispense medications at the right time and a digital voice assistant that can help with managing one’s health, scheduling tasks, and keeping in touch with caregivers should something happen.

The device is built in cooperation with the Pillo dispenser we wrote about last year from a company called Pillo Health.

Here’s our interview with a STANLEY Healthcare rep at CES 2019:
