About smartQare

smartQare is committed to providing an answer to the major challenges in healthcare. Due to the aging population, demand will continue to increase and supply simply cannot meet that demand. One of the smart solutions is viQtor, a monitoring and preventive care device that allows patients to be followed 24/7 in their home environment, outdoors, in healthcare institutions and in hospitals and clinics. This total solution will not only have a major impact on reducing the workload and stress of caregivers, but also improve the quality of life of those directly involved.

With the use of optical sensor technology, continuous measurements are made of vital values ​​such as heart rate and oxygen saturation. These are combined with skin temperature measurement, fall detection, activity monitoring and location determination. viQtor uses the new Internet-of-Things network, so that this data can be shared, stored, analyzed and made available to care providers and informal caregivers continuously, quickly and efficiently.

smartQare is now ISO 13485:2016 medically certified. viQtor is on the eve of approval as a medical care solution for medical CE class IIa.
