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