CARU reported in a press that it has concluded a significantly oversubscribed funding round which involved both new and existing investors. The startup with headquarters in Zurich will use this new money to prepare for international market entry and further expand its technology team.
CARU has developed an intelligent sensor that is placed in the living area and continually measures various parameters in the room. It sends these to an online app in real time, which helps improve the regulation of temperature, for example. According to the company, the sensor gets to know the user behavior of residents and recognizes any discrepancies. It can also make emergency calls by voice command and phone trusted contacts. The sensor is intended to offer support to older people and their caregivers as well as relatives.
Following the successful launch on the market in November, ten institutional partners are using CARU sensors so far. The sensor is currently only available to corporate clients, but product maturity for private customers is already being tested.
