TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan—LifeKnight, Inc., a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled safety and health technology, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has officially awarded the company its second utility patent. The new patent protects an automated method and system that connects a user's personal device directly to the correct Enhanced 911 (E911) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) with real-time location routing—bypassing call centers and eliminating costly delays.
This award builds on LifeKnight's first U.S. utility patent, which covers its proprietary alarm notification system.
"Our second patent is a force multiplier," said Avery Piantedosi, founder and CEO of LifeKnight, Inc. "It doesn't just complement our first—it makes it more powerful. Together they form a patent shield around the future of direct-to-E911 connectivity, wearable integrations and AI-enabled emergency detection. This ensures LifeKnight is not only protecting lives, but also protecting our leadership position in a market that's rapidly modernizing."
LifeKnight is currently piloting its LOIS Safety App and AI-powered platform with senior living providers, home health agencies and enterprise customers.
