AssistMe

What AssistMe does

AssistMe GmbH is a Berlin-based medical-technology company founded in 2017 that builds alea, an IoT-based digital care-assistance platform for professional inpatient elderly care. The system combines a wearable sensor clip (alea Clip) attached to incontinence products, a charging and gateway device (alea Dock) that transmits data via Bluetooth to the cloud, a caregiver-facing mobile app, and a browser-based Cockpit for facility administrators. Algorithmic processing in alea Cloud detects incontinence fill levels, falls, and movement patterns to trigger real-time alerts and to auto-generate positioning protocols for decubitus (pressure-ulcer) prevention and zone-management alerts for dementia patients with wandering tendency.

The platform is sold under a SaaS-plus-hardware model with per-care-recipient monthly subscriptions, no upfront costs, and a 30-day free trial including hardware and training. The core customer segment is large inpatient nursing-home operators in Germany (named customers include Alpenland Gruppe, Führer-Gruppe, Kleeblatt Pflegeheime, and AWO), with active expansion into Austria, Switzerland, the UK, and Poland. Distribution combines enterprise field sales, a HubSpot-driven self-serve consultation funnel, and presence at industry events such as Altenpflege and Deutscher Pflegetag. The system is certified as a medical device (ISO 13485, EU MDR), is GDPR-compliant, integrates with major German care-documentation platforms (MediFox, Dan, RZV), and is co-distributed with TZMO's Seni Smart smart-incontinence consumables.

As of July 2025, AssistMe has raised €5.2 million in an oversubscribed round led by Albers Investment, Brandenburg Kapital, and the Conle family office, with existing investors Next Big Thing and IBB Capital increasing commitment. Use of funds includes a new production facility in Brandenburg, scaling alea into outpatient and clinical care, and geographic expansion. The company employs approximately 35 people across engineering, sales, operations, and support, and is led by CEO Julio Brandl, CFO/COO Alexander Meiritz, and CPO Anja Schweitzer.

Direct peers

• Stanley Healthcare (Securitas Healthcare): Provides RTLS, wander management, and fall detection sensors for senior living and care facilities. Overlaps with alea's zone management for dementia patients and sensor-based monitoring of residents.
• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-based provider of telecare, PERS, and connected care solutions for elderly populations, including fall detection and remote monitoring — directly comparable to alea's connected care functionality for nursing homes.
• Essence Group: Israel-based IoT connected care provider offering fall detection, activity monitoring, and emergency response solutions for elderly populations — closely comparable to alea's care home sensor stack.
• Canary Care: UK smart home sensor system for elderly monitoring using ambient sensors for activity, movement, and fall detection — comparable in product category (discreet IoT sensors + caregiver alerts) though oriented toward home care.
• Caspar Health: Berlin-based digital health platform offering digital rehabilitation and care pathways in Germany — comparable as a German care-focused digital health company targeting similar institutional and clinical care buyers.
• Status Solutions: US provider of sensor-based situational awareness and mass notification for senior living — overlaps with alea's sensor-based real-time alerting for caregivers.
• Recare: Berlin-based digital health platform focused on discharge management and care transitions in Germany — comparable as a fellow German care-tech vendor selling into similar institutional customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Cera Care: UK-based tech-enabled home care provider using AI and digital tools to manage caregiver matching and care delivery — comparable in tech-enabled care theme but operates as a care provider rather than pure software vendor.
• Korian: Europe's largest care home operator and AssistMe customer/partner — represents the broader incumbent customer side of the market AssistMe sells into, with their own internal digitalization initiatives.

Emerging players

• VitalConnect: US-based remote patient monitoring platform with wearable biosensors — adjacent in IoT-based patient monitoring and AI-driven analytics, though focused on clinical/ambulatory settings rather than elder care facilities.
