Major honour: QUMEA wins Swiss Medtech Award 2025
We are proud and grateful: QUMEA has won the Swiss Medtech Award 2025! At the Swiss Medtech Day in Bern, our company was honoured for its innovative, radar-based solution for contactless movement analysis in the care room. The prize is one of the most important awards in the industry and is endowed with CHF 50,000.
With our technology, we enable a significant improvement in patient safety by detecting potentially dangerous situations at an early stage – without any cameras or microphones. This has already led to a significant reduction in falls in acute care. We are particularly pleased that we have now been able to impress the jury with this and it shows how important digital innovations are for the future of the medtech industry.
CEO Cyrill Gyger sums it up: ‘It makes us proud to be at the forefront of shaping the digital transformation in the medtech industry with QUMEA and providing impetus for the future.’
We thank the industry association Swiss Medtech for this great recognition, the jury as well as the Sonova Group, the Straumann Group and all partners and customers who have accompanied us on this journey.

VGR and QUMEA: An interview on one of Europe's largest radar projects
Falls in hospitals rarely happen without warning. The changes that precede them, in mobility, in restlessness, in how a patient moves through the night, often go unnoticed between routine checks. This is the gap the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) set out to close when it began one of the largest publicly tendered movement monitoring projects in Europe.
