LEBANON, Ohio -In response to increasing concerns about school safety and recent incidents like the Georgia school shooting, Palarum, a technology company based in Lebanon, is applying its innovations to enhance safety. Known for developing technology for healthcare, Palarum created a “smart sock” designed for fall prevention.
