About

About VitalWear

VitalWear uses optical fiber sensing technology to monitor relevant parameters for non-invasive medical applications. Photonic measurement technology is integrated into textiles such as bed sheets, mattress covers or clothing, which enables continuous and autonomous patient monitoring with high patient comfort and with low effort for the care providers.

VitalWear initially focuses on pressure ulcer prevention, via improving patient-specific risk assessment and facilitating early detection. Its solution significantly reduces the time that the nursing staff needs to spend on prevention protocols and helps to achieve lower pressure ulcer incidences.

A word from the CEO of VitalWear

“VitalWear on the HighTechXL Program”

“The HighTechXL program is largely defined by its people, by passionate people about entrepreneurship, about technologies, about Deep Tech. And you have interactions with these people every day, and you can benefit from their experience.”

“So, HighTechXL is a true venture-building program. It’s not just an incubator where you come in and then you get accelerated into a certain new level.”
