# What should relatives know about alea?

As a care worker, you may be asked about the clip by relatives – or asked about the system before it has even been put into use. This article provides you with a simple basis for these conversations.

**What is *alea*?**

*alea* is a small sensor clip that residents wear on their person. It detects care-related situations – such as when someone leaves their bed or needs assistance with incontinence care – and alerts the care team immediately.

alea does not replace a care worker, but helps the team to respond at the right time.

**Frequently asked questions from relatives**

**“I’m worried about radiation.”**  
The clip does not emit radio signals beyond the normal levels of everyday devices. It is non-invasive and has been specifically developed and tested for use in care settings.

**“Is my mother being monitored by this?”**  
*alea* does not make video or audio recordings and does not observe people. It detects only care-related conditions. All data is encrypted and processed in accordance with the GDPR.

**“Will the carers then provide less care?”**  
Because the team is informed more quickly, there is more time for personal attention. *alea* takes the strain off routine tasks – not human care.

**What relatives should know**

- Data remains within the care home and is not passed on to third parties.
- If they have any further questions, relatives can contact the carer or the care home management at any time.
