CURALUNA GmbH

What CURALUNA GmbH does

CURALUNA GmbH is a Frankfurt-based medical device company that develops LUNA, a Personal Digital Care Assistant certified under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). LUNA attaches discreet body-worn sensors to a care recipient and uses artificial intelligence to evaluate care-relevant data—including incontinence fill level, macro- and micro-movements, and gait—and to notify caregivers only when predefined thresholds are reached. The platform is modular, with separate Incontinence, Pressure Ulcer (Dekubitus), and Fall and Emergency Manager modules that share a common device and an individual, lifelong personal data vault for each care recipient. Automated micturition logs, skin and movement documentation, and statistical analyses for progress monitoring are positioned as part of the workflow.

The company serves three use-case segments: häusliche Pflege (home care by family caregivers without regular professional support), ambulante Pflege (outpatient nursing services supporting families in their own homes), and stationäre Pflege (inpatient nursing facilities). Distribution is direct, driven by the company website (available in German and English) and inbound contact (email [email protected], phone +49 69 273156420), with no disclosed resellers, marketplace listings, or OEM partnerships.

Monetization mechanics, pricing tiers, and revenue are not disclosed in the public source material, and the company operates with a 1-10 employee team led by CEO Dr. Frank Steinmetz, CTO Jörg Besier, Head of Finance Heinrich Zimmermann, Head of Regulation Ralf Schumacher, and Head of Sales and Customer Care Dr. Sven Sadtler. Ownership is founder-led under a German GmbH structure with no disclosed venture funding rounds; an advisory board including former Wertgarantie Group CEO Thomas Schröder is in place but provides no signal of external capital.

Core offering

CURALUNA develops and sells LUNA, a Personal Digital Care Assistant certified as a medical device under the European MDR. LUNA uses discreet body-worn sensors to collect care-relevant data (incontinence fill levels, macro/micro-movements, gait patterns) and analyzes it using artificial intelligence to notify caregivers only when intervention is needed. The system is offered with configurable applications including an Incontinence Manager, Pressure Ulcer (Dekubitus) Manager, and Fall and Emergency Manager, each storing personal data in an individual lifelong data vault.

Product overview

CURALUNA offers LUNA, a Personal Digital Care Assistant, as a certified medical device under the European MDR. LUNA is a unified platform with individually configurable sensor modules that work together within a single ecosystem. The core system uses body-worn sensors to collect care-relevant data and analyzes it with AI. Users can customize their LUNA with add-on modules: the Incontinence Manager (for fill-level monitoring and continence training), Pressure Ulcer Manager (for movement-based risk assessment), and Fall and Emergency Manager (for gait analysis and fall detection). All modules share a common data vault architecture where personal data is stored for life, and the system provides automated documentation to reduce caregiver administrative burden.

Products and services

• LUNA Personal Digital Care Assistant Certified medical device serving as a Personal Digital Care Assistant. Uses discreet body-worn sensors to collect care-relevant data, analyzes it securely with artificial intelligence, and notifies caregivers only when intervention is needed. Stores each user's personal data in an individual data vault for life, with the care recipient maintaining full control over data access. Designed for care recipients and their caregivers across home care, outpatient care, and inpatient care settings.
• LUNA as Incontinence Manager A configurable LUNA application using a reusable sensor attached externally to any standard incontinence product to continuously measure fill level. Sends notifications when a change is needed, captures skin condition data via app, automatically logs micturition events, predicts time windows for the next micturition to support personalized continence training, and provides statistical analyses for progress monitoring. Designed for caregivers supporting individuals with incontinence.
• LUNA as Pressure Ulcer (Dekubitus) Manager A configurable LUNA application using a body-worn motion sensor that records all macro- and micro-movements of the care recipient to determine current pressure ulcer risk and notify caregivers when preventive measures are needed. Supports documentation of at-risk or affected skin areas via app and provides statistics on movement patterns and disease progression to support individualized adjustment of prophylactic measures. Designed for caregivers of individuals at risk of pressure ulcers.
• LUNA as Fall and Emergency Manager A configurable LUNA application using movement sensors that detect typical movement patterns (standing up, walking, sitting down, lying down, climbing stairs) and perform gait analysis to determine day-to-day stability. Assesses current fall risk and notifies caregivers when individually adjustable thresholds are reached. If a fall occurs, immediately detects it and triggers a predefined notification cascade. Designed for caregivers of individuals at risk of falls.
