WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

Caru


Description

The CARU smart sensor is a unique smart communication and sensing device that is used in living environments. A room that is not equipped with any kind of technology becomes intelligent within minutes once CARU is placed there. No technical know-how is required to use and benefit from it. One of the applications is care where it helps patients or elderly people, their relatives and caretakers to connect more efficiently and to exchange relevant information.CARU is an attentive roommate, a security system or contributes to the process optimization of services. For some users CARU creates more security, for others self-determination and yet for others social inclusion. For all of them CARU means an increased quality of life.
