Better Life Technologies Group, Inc., a small African-American technology company focusing on wireless wearable technologies, has sued Kaiser Permanente for $50 million on Wednesday, claiming the medical giant stole its trade secrets on wearable medical devices and shared them with its competitors which in its view may have contributed to the birth of a 30 billion dollar industry which focuses on wireless-wearable wellness communications between physicians and patients.
The Better Life Technologies Group claims in federal court that Kaiser developed wearable medical devices with other companies after signing a nondisclosure agreement with Better Life in 2012.

The trade secrets involved "a patent for technology for a wireless wearable device designed for patients suffering from diabetes, heart conditions, and other medical conditions which require monitoring," Better Life says in the complaint.
Better Life representatives began speaking to Kaiser C-level Officers in 2011-2012 and had several meeting regarding their innovative Physician to Patient wireless-wearable communication technologies.
Kaiser signed a Non-Compete Non-Disclosure agreement with Better Life’s sister company ViQUAL Medical promising not to share Better Life’s disclosed intellectual property and trade secrets.
At the time, ViQUAL Medical was created to be a medical device division of Better Life Technologies Group, Inc., which received intellectual property from Better Life and created its own unique patent-pending technologies which still have patent-pending status. Better Life has developed technologies that are designed to monitor human ailments ranging from diabetes to cancer.
Better Life Technologies Group, Inc. has several prototypes of its intended technology but still seeks funding to get its products to market.
Better Life was featured in the March 2017 issue of Essence Magazine, and has been interviewed by BET. Better Life has had its technology endorsed by the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff’s Engineering Department.
"One of our company’s objectives has always been to show the world that if the doors of diversity could open ever so slightly, the African-American science community has powerful technological developments that can have a huge impact on science and technology," says George McKinney; CEO/Founder of Better Life Technologies Group.
