How optimized environmental factors enhance health and well-being

A well-balanced indoor environment protects vulnerable groups, supports employees, and contributes to quality assurance in everyday care. Factors like CO₂, fine dust, temperature, or noise are measurable and can thus be specifically optimized. The product provides everything necessary to continuously monitor and actively improve these factors—for better health, well-being, and performance in daily care routines.

Reduce CO₂ concentration—for clear thinking and stable vital signs

The air we breathe is crucial to our physical and mental well-being. In indoor areas—especially frequently used spaces such as patient rooms, therapy rooms, or lounges—CO₂ can accumulate quickly due to insufficient ventilation and many people being present. Elevated CO₂ levels reduce the oxygen saturation in the blood and negatively affect concentration, well-being, and circulation. This is especially critical for older people, patients with cardiovascular issues, or those with cognitive impairments who already have reduced resilience.

What are the effects of optimized CO₂ concentration?

Promote clarity and concentration

Care staff make more precise decisions; residents stay more alert, e.g., during group therapy or doctor visits.

Reduce physical symptoms

Fatigue, headaches, or dizziness are alleviated by fresh air—important for people with pain or dementia.

Support vital functions

A balanced CO₂ level eases the cardiovascular system—essential for cardiac and generally vulnerable individuals.

Actively manage room climate

Sensors indicate when ventilation or air purification is necessary—especially in shared spaces or staff break rooms.

The product helps detect CO₂ levels in real time, visualize them clearly, and provide customized ventilation recommendations. If desired, automated actions such as opening windows or activating a ventilation system can be triggered—for a consistently healthy indoor environment.

Reduce fine dust – for healthy airways and low-allergen care environments

Fine dust consists of tiny solid or liquid particles in the air, invisible to the naked eye. It is not only found outdoors – from traffic, industry, or construction – but also indoors, e.g., from cleaning agents, skin flakes, textiles, or printers. Especially the smallest particles (PM2.5 and smaller) are relevant to health because they penetrate deep into the lungs and can cause inflammation as well as long-term damage to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. In healthcare facilities, this concerns not only patients with asthma, COPD, or weakened immune systems, but also older individuals and staff members with allergies. Sources are diverse: printers, disinfectants, textiles, traffic or construction nearby. Especially in indoor areas without proper ventilation, fine dust accumulates over hours.

What does targeted fine dust reduction achieve?

Protection against airway irritation

In care and treatment rooms, coughing, sneezing, and irritation are significantly reduced – particularly important for those with lung diseases.

Creating an allergy-friendly environment

In common or therapy areas, airborne particles can worsen symptoms. Clean air improves quality of life.

Avoiding silent burden on staff

Care staff spend extended periods in the same indoor air – less fine dust means reduced risk of long-term health effects.

Improved hygiene through air analysis

Sensor-based monitoring detects critical levels, enabling targeted cleaning or ventilation measures.

The product measures fine dust exposure precisely and continuously – including particles like PM2.5. If defined threshold values are exceeded, the system can trigger automated ventilation recommendations or measures. The result is a cleaner, healthier environment that actively contributes to health prevention.

Detect VOCs – identify pollutants, protect health

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released unnoticed – through cleaning products, new furniture, disinfectant sprays, or floor coverings. In healthcare facilities that are cleaned, disinfected, and maintained daily, these substances can accumulate in the indoor air. Especially at risk are immunocompromised patients, people with respiratory conditions, allergy sufferers, and young children in rehabilitation centers.

What are the benefits of detecting VOCs?

Recognize and prevent irritation early

Burning eyes, sore throat, or skin irritation occur more frequently at elevated VOC levels – a risk for vulnerable groups.

Avoid long-term exposure

Prolonged exposure can lead to chronic symptoms, e.g., in cleaning staff or in poorly ventilated storage areas.

Ensure safety in therapy and sleeping areas

Especially in spaces where people stay longer, VOC monitoring protects against hidden chemical exposures.

Build trust through transparency

Relatives and visitors gain confidence in the air quality – a plus for the facility’s image.

The product detects elevated VOC levels early and provides transparent analyses of indoor air quality. If needed, it can issue warnings or trigger automatic controls – e.g., opening windows or activating ventilation. This makes handling pollutants professional, preventive, and traceable.

Regulate temperature – support room climate as a therapeutic tool

The temperature of a room affects more than just comfort. In healthcare settings, it directly impacts circulation, metabolism, sleep quality, and emotional stability. Residents with chronic illnesses, elderly people with impaired thermoregulation, and post-operative patients are especially sensitive to extreme temperatures. Staff also suffer from persistently poor room climate – for example, in treatment rooms or nurses’ stations.

Why is targeted temperature regulation important?

Stabilize circulatory values

A consistent temperature in care rooms prevents blood pressure drops and circulation issues – e.g., in bedridden individuals.

Promote sleep

An appropriate night-time temperature improves sleep quality – especially for residents with dementia or pain sensitivity.

Increase therapy engagement

Pleasant temperatures in therapy or movement areas boost motivation for active participation.

Ensure work quality

For caregivers, a balanced room climate means better focus, fewer errors, and improved physical endurance.

The product monitors room temperature in real time and responds immediately to deviations. With appropriate thresholds, the system can trigger automated actions such as adjusting heating or turning on ventilation. This ensures a stable and supportive indoor climate – tailored to individual needs and usage times.

Balance humidity – prevent mold, protect skin and mucous membranes

Relative humidity affects health in many ways – it protects or strains the respiratory system, skin, furniture, and building materials. In care facilities, a balanced humidity level is crucial: overly dry air can dry out mucous membranes, while excessive humidity promotes mold growth. Especially at risk are residents with chronic bronchitis, neurodermatitis, or immune-related conditions.

What are the benefits of targeted humidity control?

Protect the airways

Dry air irritates the bronchi and increases susceptibility to infections – especially in bedrooms where patients spend many hours.

Promote skin health

For elderly or care-dependent people with sensitive skin, balanced humidity prevents irritation and itching.

Prevent mold

In sanitary areas, storage rooms, or poorly ventilated niches, monitoring helps to avoid microbiological risks early.

Improve staff well-being

Caregivers also benefit from a balanced indoor climate that is neither too dry nor stuffy – especially during long shifts.

The product continuously measures humidity levels and detects critical fluctuations early. When values deviate, the system can issue targeted recommendations or automatically activate humidifiers or dehumidifiers. This keeps the indoor climate in healthy balance – protecting people, materials, and the microbiome.

Adjust noise levels situationally and purposefully – depending on the need for calm, communication, or activity

Noise is one of the invisible stressors in care facilities – often underestimated, yet with significant effects. Constant acoustic stress from conversations in the hallway, device beeps, traffic noise, or cleaning activities not only hinders the recovery of residents but also raises the stress level of staff. Especially affected are people with dementia, neurological conditions, or increased sensory sensitivity.

What effects does targeted noise management have?

Promotes rest and recovery

In resident rooms or quiet zones, a low noise level helps with falling asleep, relaxing, and emotional stabilization.

Reduces behavioral issues

In people with dementia, sudden noises can trigger restlessness or anxiety – quiet environments help prevent this.

Improves working conditions

In care and documentation areas, reduced noise enables more focused work and reduces errors.

Enables flexible acoustic management

Depending on room function – whether therapy room, dining area, or nursing station – the acoustic environment can be adjusted accordingly.

The product continuously measures noise levels and differentiates them based on time of day and room usage. When high levels are detected, the system can provide guidance on noise reduction or – in integrated solutions – automatically trigger actions such as adjusting speakers or activating soundproofing systems. This creates an environment that specifically supports calm, concentration, and recovery.

Improve lighting conditions – stabilize daily rhythms and mood

Light has a profound effect on the human body — it regulates our internal clock, affects hormone balance, sleep behavior, and mood. In care facilities, where many people spend most of the day indoors, the quality of lighting is crucial. Older individuals, people with dementia, or depressive moods are particularly sensitive to unfavorable lighting conditions.

What are the effects of targeted light optimization?

Strengthening the natural day-night rhythm

In resident rooms, daylight-like lighting helps stabilize the sleep-wake cycle — important in cases of sleep disorders or disorientation.

Brightening the mood through light

In lounges or communal rooms, bright, warm light can positively influence mood and encourage social interaction.

Promoting activity during the day

In therapy rooms or group settings, adjusted lighting supports concentration and physical activity.

Improving safety and orientation

In corridors, care bathrooms, or entrance areas, targeted lighting helps prevent falls and increases the sense of safety.

The product analyzes lighting conditions in real time and automatically detects insufficient or unfavorable lighting. The system can issue targeted recommendations for light adjustments — or, when combined with smart lighting systems, automatically regulate brightness, light color, and timing. This way, light actively supports orientation, mood, and circadian rhythm.
