Events

As a proud sponsor of the European Geriatric Medicine Society, Ontex attended the last edition of the EuGMS congress to promote our new Smart solution within an international audience.

We met with a lot of interesting people, mostly from the medical field, that were really impressed and enthusiastic with our solution. We were lucky enough to receive plenty of positive feedback and inspiration from these experts.

We also had the chance to organise a lunch session with the EuGMS Urinary Incontinence Special Interest Group, focused on sharing clinical and industry updates on incontinence care. Helen Seymour, our UK Healthcare Commercial Director, presented the latest results from several European trials of the Orizon Smart solution, generating a lot of interest among the audience.

Our Executive Vice President R&D & Sustainability, Annick De Poorter, has spoken at a press event in Belgium, announcing the results of a smart incontinence care project at a nursing home that tested our Orizon Smart solution for several weeks.

Ministers of the Flemish government, Hilde Crevits and Jo Brouns, attended the session together with the care home group director to learn more about the Orizon Smart solution and discuss how the use of these technologies can significantly improve elderly care.

Some of the key results presented during this event related to the optimization of incontinence product consumption and cost, as well as the increase in comfort and quality of sleep of the residents. An accurate monitoring of the saturation level of these products means that it is not always needed to disturb the residents at night for a check.

By the end of the event, all participants and attendees were reassured of the importance of innovation in the care industry and the potential of the solutions like Orizon Smart.

From April 25th to 27th 2022, the Messe Essen exhibition centre hosted the Altenpflegue fair. With over 20.000 attendees, it is one of the most important meeting places for the care industry in Germany.

Every year, the latest developments, products and services for inpatient and outpatient care are showcased during this 3-day congress and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to be there and show our latest innovation on incontinence care management, our Orizon Smart solution.

Together with our local partner, the GVS group, we set up a big booth with an exclusive demo lab on the upper floor where we could do live demos of the solution and experience the first impressive reactions from our visitors:

Seeing the positive feedback and the excitement of the attendees from the elderly care industry was incredibly encouraging and reassured us of the potential of our Orizon Smart solution.

Our Commercial Director Healthcare Germany, Detlef Röseler, had the chance to give a presentation at the forum to explain more in detail what our solution is about to a broader audience.

We were very happy with the interest generated and we look forward to connecting again in 2023!
