Our System

Sensor AssistMe Care App

Sensor clip and charger (per resident)

The sensor is attached to the incontinence product by means of a sensor clip in order to detect capacity, body positioning and current location. The charger quickly charges the sensor clip when the battery is low.
Gateway AssistMe Care App

Information gateway

The link between the sensors and app – this is where all the information is collected and distributed. These devices are also used to define individual zones in order to locate residents quickly and easily if necessary.
End Device AssistMe Care App

Digital app (per caregiver)

The place where all the information is brought together. The app can be quickly installed on smartphones or tablets, and displays all the resident information in a clear and configurable way. The app also sends a notification if immediate action is required (e.g., if a resident with dementia leaves a secure area or there is a risk of leakage).

How can incontinence care for nursing home residents be organized better?

The sensors on the incontinence products inform the care staff in real-time of the status of each resident. If an incontinence product has reached full capacity, the resident’s sensor reports this. The overview of all residents at all times in the app allows care staff to change an incontinence product at the appropriate time before leakage occurs. This results in greater comfort for the residents, less work and costs for the care home and more time for special moments in the stressful daily care routine.

Occasionally, a wrong in continence product is selected for a resident. The display showing which product is planned next for each resident is therefore helpful.

 Incontinence features of the app:

  • Overview of necessary incontinence product changes
  • Display of incontinence product to be used according to changing schedule
  • List of all incontinence product changes performed, including the time
  • Information regarding the regularity of bowel movements
  • Information about laxative administration

How can the prevention of pressure ulcers be made easier?

Supported positioning is an extremely important measure in pressure ulcer prevention. The AssistMe digital assistant cannot prevent pressure ulcers, but providing all the information at a glance in one app enables care staff to make the right decisions independently.

 Positioning features of the app:

  • Overview of actual positioning requirements of bedridden residents
  • Positioning reminder according to interval
  • Automatic documentation of independent and supported change of position

How can the safety of individuals with dementia be ensured without restricting their freedom to move around?

Secure and non-secure areas are defined for disoriented residents. If a resident leaves a secure area, the care staff is notified immediately via the app. If the resident stays within their designated secure areas, they can move about freely and not have to be checked on constantly. The app therefore displays the location of residents with dementia that places little restriction on the freedom of nursing home residents.

      App wandering tendency features:

  • Information about the current location of each resident
  • Immediate notification when a disoriented resident
    leaves the secure area

Care documentation features of the app:

  • Automated documentation of stool elimination
  • Automated documentation of all incontinence product changes
  • Automated documentation of body position
  • Documentation of manually entered additional information
