About

We go to nursing homes, and we put an internet-connected bed sensor underneath all their beds. Our app gives nurses valuable insights and an overview of all their residents. We reduce fall incidents and bedsores while improving evening and night shift productivity by over 30%. Momo Medical solves the biggest problem affecting nursing homes, staff shortages while increasing the quality of care.

  • Menno GravemakerFounder

    When I was young I already had a fascination for creating and building things. I collected candle stumps from the neighbors, made new candles from these stumps, and then sold those to the same neighbors. My grandmother was in a nursing home, I decided to join a lot of evening and night shifts. I needed to know how we can help nurses care for the people we deeply love. I found out they still worked with walkie-talkies and sensors that give 50% false alarms. We need to change this.
