From pioneer to the leading partner in care
What began as a research project at the Vienna University of Technology is now a leading European partner for digital care technology. Our journey has been marked by milestones that show what is possible when you have the courage to rethink care.
The first prototype
The first prototype is developed based on an encompassing research project on fall detection. We prove that anonymous, camera-based fall detection is possible.
The breakthrough
cogvis is establishing itself as a reliable solution in daily care practice. Already 15% of Austrian nursing homes rely on the technology.
The next generation
The Sensor generation 2.0 is launched. The new version offers additional convenience and makes integration even easier.
Leading player in Europe
Over 260 institutions already rely on cogvis to demonstrably reduce falls by up to 78% and give staff back valuable time.
