MOIO GmbH

Ahead Care GmbH, established in 2023 and operating under the brand moio.care, is a digital health firm focused on the elder care market. The company is the result of extensive research and development projects, with its headquarters located in Erlangen, Germany, a notable hub for medical technology innovation. Dr. Lars Zimmermann serves as the Managing Director, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous roles in technology consulting and GovTech. His background includes co-founding the GovTech Campus Deutschland, serving as CEO of Axel Springer hy GmbH, and holding a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University, experiences that inform the company's approach to technology-driven solutions for public and social sectors.

The core of the business is the moio.care system, a digital assistant for the nursing sector. It targets inpatient, outpatient, and family care settings, aiming to alleviate the workload on caregivers and improve the quality of care. The system operates through a wearable sensor module—a flat, soft, and flexible device worn on the patient's back—which monitors movement and condition. This sensor connects to the moio Cloud, which in turn alerts a network of designated caregivers via a smartphone app when attention is needed. The business model involves a reduced purchase price for the hardware, complemented by a monthly subscription fee, which can potentially be covered by care allowances.

The moio.care system offers a suite of functions designed to address key challenges in patient monitoring. These features include fall detection, reminders for patient repositioning to prevent pressure sores, and location tracking. It also allows for the creation of virtual safe zones, notifying caregivers if a patient wanders outside a predefined area. The system monitors its own battery level and whether it is being worn correctly, sending alerts for both. All functions are configurable within the app, allowing care to be tailored to individual patient needs. The platform is designed to connect an entire care network, including family, friends, and professional caregivers, ensuring that the appropriate person can respond to alerts. Data privacy is a key consideration; information is only transmitted when a specific event is detected by the activated functions, and the system can integrate with existing electronic care documentation and call systems.
