About AssistMe

AssistMe GmbH is a Berlin-based MedTech startup developing intelligent digital assistance systems for professional elderly care settings. The company's flagship product, alea, combines Internet-of-Things technology, artificial intelligence, and cloud infrastructure to revolutionize incontinence management and care coordination in nursing homes. Founded on the principle that digitalization should enhance human care rather than replace it, AssistMe addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare: delivering dignity-centered, efficient care while supporting overwhelmed care professionals. alea operates as a sensor-enabled ecosystem where specialized clips attached to smart incontinence products detect saturation levels, movement patterns, and fall risks, transmitting real-time data to a central cloud platform. Care staff receive notifications via mobile app or web-based dashboard, enabling need-based interventions rather than routine checks. The system integrates automated documentation that eliminates manual record-keeping, generates positioning protocols for pressure ulcer prevention, and provides facility managers with data-driven insights for resource optimization. Scientific validation through partnership with Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences confirms measurable improvements in resident quality of life, sleep quality, and caregiver working conditions, alongside documented cost savings averaging 23% in material and labor expenses. AssistMe's business model centers on recurring subscription revenue, with care facilities paying per-resident-per-month pricing and no upfront implementation costs. Major operators including Alpenland Group, Führer Group, and AWO have adopted the platform across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The company operates in strategic partnership with TZMO, a leading incontinence product manufacturer, ensuring product compatibility and market reach. The July 2025 €5.2 million growth funding round, led by Albers Investment and Brandenburg Kapital, positions AssistMe for international expansion and establishment of in-country manufacturing capabilities. Recognition as Deep Tech Award 2023 winner validates the company's technological innovation within Europe's care technology sector.
