VMedD

What VMedD does

VmedD GmbH is a Dresden-based sensor technology company founded in June 2020 that develops FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar-based systems for contactless monitoring of vital signs, falls, presence, and movement. The company's flagship Care Monitor product line consists of wall-mounted radar sensors that detect sudden and gradual falls (within 30–50 seconds) and unusual absence patterns, transmitting only abstract event notifications to a companion iOS/Android app and web portal over TLS 1.3 to certified German servers. The architecture is privacy-by-design: no cameras, no microphones, no wearables — persons are represented only as anonymous point clouds, with radiation output roughly 20x lower than a smartphone.

VmedD operates a hybrid hardware-plus-subscription business model with three SKUs: the WiFi-connected Care Monitor Sensor (€239 introductory / €498 list), the LTE-enabled Connect Plus (€299 / €548), and the Signal bundle with an ELDAT emergency wristband (€349 / €599). Each unit requires a recurring service fee of €12.95–€22.95 per month or €129.50–€229.50 per year for data processing, alerting, app access, and software updates. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce on vmedd.de (with a 30-day money-back guarantee), an Amazon storefront, and a B2B direct sales motion into nursing homes, hospitals, and home-care agencies.

The company was originally developed in collaboration with three large German welfare organizations — Diakonie Dresden, Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), and Volkssolidarität — for clinical validation in real emergency conditions. A November 2025 consumer launch extended the same product into the home market targeting family caregivers of the elderly. R&D has been financed through multiple EFRE (European Regional Development Fund) and BMWE grants rather than venture capital, including the MERAMIS medical radar microsystems project exploring medical imaging use cases.

Core offering

VMedD develops and sells FMCW radar-based contactless sensors that detect falls, presence/absence, and sleep patterns in rooms to support elderly care at home and in professional care facilities. The hardware is sold as a one-time purchase with three variants (standard WiFi, Connect Plus with LTE, and Signal with emergency wristband), each requiring a separate monthly or annual subscription for encrypted data transmission, app operation, software updates, and real-time alerting.

Product overview

VmedD offers a family of radar-based elderly care monitoring products centered on the Care Monitor system. The core offering consists of wall-mounted FMCW radar sensors that detect falls, presence/absence, and sleep patterns without cameras or microphones. Three hardware variants are available: the standard Care Monitor Sensor (WLAN-connected), Care Monitor - Connect plus (with integrated LTE for locations without WiFi), and Care Monitor Signal (LTE + emergency wristband). Each sensor requires a separate monthly or annual service subscription that enables real-time alerting, app/portal access, and software updates. The product ecosystem is managed through free iOS/Android apps and a web portal, with family members able to receive alerts and view monitored person's status. The company also has an active R&D line (MERAMIS) exploring medical radar imaging applications.

Direct peers

• Vayyar Care: Vayyar Imaging's Care unit produces radar-based contactless fall detection sensors for elderly care — directly comparable to VMedD's Care Monitor in technology (FMCW/radar), privacy posture (no cameras), and target segment (seniors aging at home and professional care facilities).
• Xandar Kardian: Korea-based developer of radar-based presence sensing and vital-sign monitoring solutions for smart buildings, senior care, and healthcare — comparable to VMedD in core technology (UWB/FMCW radar) and use cases (occupancy, fall detection, monitoring).
• Vivago: Finnish health-tech company producing wearable wellness watches and alarm devices for elderly care and remote patient monitoring — comparable to VMedD in addressing continuous elderly monitoring, though Vivago leans wearable while VMedD is contactless.

Broad incumbents

• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-headquartered global leader in telecare and telehealth, offering traditional PERS, fall detectors, and connected care platforms for housing associations, care providers, and local authorities — a broad incumbent competing with VMedD in the same care-customer segment with a wider portfolio.
• Philips Lifeline: Philips' medical-alert/PERS business providing in-home and mobile emergency response solutions for seniors — a major incumbent with established North American and European distribution, overlapping with VMedD on the elderly living-independently segment.
• Essence SmartCare: Telecare and connected-care solutions provider offering PERS devices, fall detection, and activity monitoring for elderly and vulnerable populations — comparable to VMedD across the same care-provider and home-care customer base.
• Legrand Care (Tunstall Telecare): Legrand's Care division (acquired Tunstall's telecare assets) offers PERS, dispersed alarms, and digital care platforms across Europe — broad incumbent competing with VMedD for the same welfare-organization and housing-with-care contracts.
• Bosch Healthcare Solutions: Bosch subsidiary developing connected health products including patient monitoring and elderly-care sensors — comparable to VMedD in technology stack (industrial-grade sensors, German engineering, healthcare applications) though much broader in scope.

Emerging players

• Nobi: Belgian startup producing AI-powered smart lamps with integrated fall detection and prevention for nursing homes and elderly care — comparable to VMedD in target customer (seniors and care facilities) and outcome (automatic fall detection), though using a different sensor modality (camera in a lamp).
• CareBand: US-based developer of wearable location-tracking and behavioral-monitoring devices for seniors and people with dementia — partial overlap with VMedD's elderly-monitoring value proposition, though CareBand uses wearables rather than contactless radar.
