Advantages of the QUMEA system
QUMEA enables completely contactless and anonymous monitoring using 3D radar technology, without the need for cameras, microphones or body-worn devices. The system detects early on when people in need of care leave their bed or wheelchair and alerts care staff in real time, effectively preventing falls and increasing safety. Thanks to precise detection, care staff receive targeted support and have more time for individual care. In addition, the solution allows the prevention of pressure ulcers and enables delirium management by registering unusual movement patterns or inactivity. The intuitive, app-based operation is simple, customizable and, together with full compliance with the highest data protection standards, ensures smooth, data-secure use in sensitive care environments.
