HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Reno County Chamber of Commerce and Greater Hutch are pleased to announce the location of a new business.

Almont Studios of Boston, Massachusetts, has selected 10,000 square feet of space in the Hutchinson Mall to manufacture what is known as “iC4K” technology platform and create custom individualized content for users with cognitive impairment and anxiety concerns.

In collaboration with medical professionals, the staff at Almont Studios interview and select photographs and items for scanning, editing and programming onto the iC4K.

Various options and attachments are under development extending the capabilities of the system to assist with diagnostic information for the user’s doctors as well as gathering data helpful for care facilities, doctors and medical professionals.
