1.2.4 | Application focus: Use of the alea app

Selecting your care setting

alea is suitable for all common care settings

The alea system is fundamentally suitable for all care settings (or care contexts, care environments).

The differences in use between, for example, home care and inpatient care become particularly apparent when using the alea software for the respective users. In order to use alea with the correct functional views appropriate for the respective care setting, alea app users select the area in which they provide or receive care when they first register in the alea app. As a rule, they also assume the role of the customer (care facility, policyholder, guardian or caregiver, etc.).

The manufacturer and its authorized partners usually deliver alea to all customers and users of every care setting preconfigured so that alea app users can register correctly and in a context- and application-specific manner.

Status overview

The functional center of the alea app provides a detailed overview of the respective care recipient status for each activated function.
This page is continuously displayed and updated.
The status bars are sorted by descending priority—care recipients with urgent event status are listed higher up than those with less urgent status.

Symbol	Description
	Suspected fall Two minutes ago, a possible fall was detected at Martin Wächter's home – we recommend checking this as soon as possible. Click on the fall icon to log the suspected fall in the manual documentation.
	alea clip probably disposed of The status has not been updated for 30 minutes because the alea clip was probably thrown away with the full smart ICP. The alea clip can be used for 3 years – we therefore recommend taking it out of the trash can and continuing to use it.
	Urine level “Full” Robert Hoch's incontinence status reached “Full” 29 minutes ago. We recommend changing the ICP. By clicking on the incontinence icon, the change and fullness level of the IKP can be logged in the manual documentation.
	Charging the alea clip The alea clip battery is running low. The alea clip should soon be charged on the alea dock and a freshly charged alea clip attached to the ICP.
	Movement onto back 1.5 hours ago, Gabriele Wirth was moved onto her back. There is still no risk of pressure ulcers. As soon as the repositioning interval is reached and repositioning is necessary, the movement indicator turns red.
