At its peak, RemoteMDx had over 50,000 members and was later sold. Tracker Group (SecureAlert) - Founded in 2001, SecureAlert was the early adopter and industry leader in the development and commercialization of GPS tracking technologies. The early development was pioneered in partnership with Panasonic. Today Tracker Group has about $40 million in revenues and at its peak had a market capitalization in excess of $600 million. Biotelemetry/ActiveCare - A leader in the remote diabetes monitoring industry, ActiveCare started to monitor diabetics in 2011. As CEO, David took the company from no revenues to in excess of $8 million per year when he left ActiveCare in 2015. Today ActiveCare is contracted to be bought by the billion-dollar monitoring company Biotelemetry.
