QUMEA – radar-based, 100% anonymous motion intelligence

Movement intelligence without invading privacy

Each movement point detected by radar contains information about macro and micro movements. Macro movements provide information about a person’s posture and position in the patient room without the need for imaging.
Micro movements are caused by weak bodily activities that are barely perceptible from the outside, such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion or tremors, and provide information about the individual’s condition.

QUMEA uses AI to combine this data into movement intelligence, anticipates potential dangerous situations and informs nursing staff if necessary. Personal data is neither collected nor processed for this purpose.

Radar instead of camera – 100% anonymous, no personal data required

Monitoring in sensitive care environments requires technologies that provide safety without violating privacy. That is why QUMEA was deliberately developed without cameras or other imaging techniques from the outset.

Our radar technology does not collect any personal data: no images, no faces, no visual details. It only measures abstract movement and presence signals that are technically unsuitable for identifying individuals.

The technology was developed in close cooperation with regional data protection authorities and consistently follows the principle of proportionality. At QUMEA, data protection is not an afterthought, but an integral part of the system architecture.

The difference between radar and camera systems is fundamental – physically, ethically and in terms of data protection law.

Seamlessly integrated system: processing, interpretation & alerting

The QUMEA sensor sends and receives precise movement points 24/7 and determines their exact position in the room. The QUMEA Cloud processes this movement data using industry-leading artificial intelligence (AI), recognises dangerous situations and provides clinical insights.

The QUMEA app alerts you when help is needed and allows you to easily configure customised monitoring scenarios per patient and room.

The QUMEA Dashboard shows trends and deviations per patient, provides insights into movement data and enables early intervention to support the success of therapy.

Sensor

The QUMEA RADIQ-1 sensor continuously transmits and receives electromagnetic signals (radio waves) that are 100 times weaker than those of a WiFi router.

The slim and discreet device is mounted on the ceiling of the patient’s room. From there, it continuously monitors the finest movements throughout the room and transmits them to the QUMEA Cloud. All in real time and anonymous from the ground up.

Cloud

The QUMEA Cloud receives the anonymous movement data and processes it using QUMEA’s own artificial intelligence (AI). Critical events are recognised automatically and immediately and, if necessary, appropriate alarms are triggered.

We rely on state-of-the-art cyber security technologies. The cloud is located in Switzerland or in the country of the customer’s choice. Our multi-redundant architecture guarantees maximum availability.

App & Dashboard

The QUMEA mobile app alerts you if help is needed. Monitoring scenarios for patients and rooms can be configured easily and individually.

The QUMEA Dashboard provides an overview of the entire ward and visualises trends as well as patient activity and mobility. Integrate QUMEA seamlessly into existing alarm systems, nurse call systems and your HIS.

QUMEA offers the only data protection-compliant system without a camera that is ethical and proportionate.
