Long Island City, NY (PRWEB) January 06, 2016 -- Tunstall Healthcare Group, the world leader in connected healthcare, has acquired Lifeline Hawaii Services via its US subsidiary, Tunstall Americas.

Casey Pittock, President and CEO of Tunstall Americas stated, “Many high quality local and regional providers of one-dimensional medical alarm monitoring services are seeking to expand their offering with Tunstall’s suite of connected healthcare products and services.
