ETOS Omtanke helps staff handle residents with dementia who are moving toward exits — with context and suggestions instead of a panic alarm.
The system takes signals from sensors and resident profiles — and gives staff an understandable assessment, not just a notice that something happened.
ETOS Omtanke is a direct application of M.E.M. theory. Anna's situation holds exactly the normative tension M.E.M. is designed to make visible.
The nursing home's normative goals — safety and care — cannot both be fully achieved at the same time.
Anna's experience in the middle of the night. Disorientation is not disobedience — it is a human state.
The system requires staff to act — but rarely gives them the context to act correctly.
The UI is simple and functional. Staff shouldn't have to learn a new system — they just need to be able to act correctly and quickly.
V1 is not a complete solution — it is a learning tool. The goal is to find out whether the ETOS assessment actually helps staff act better.
No cloud. No complex hardware. A local setup that can run from day one.
5–10 residents. Night-time events. Staff willing to try something new.
Door and motion sensors. Tablet or phone. No advanced infrastructure.
Known patterns, what works, dementia severity. The profile makes the system smart.
Fewer panic alarms? Faster response? Staff feeling more confident? That's what we're testing.
"This is not just a prototype. It's a new way of thinking about safety."
