Patients and care staff often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and pain, which can increase workload, trigger restrictive interventions, and reduce overall wellbeing in healthcare settings.

The system is CE and MDR certified, complies with GDPR, and integrates a secure cloud dashboard for usage analytics, allowing staff to monitor outcomes without direct supervision.
