Last year during the Care Show, one of the most well-known fairs of the care industry in the UK, we did a short poll with over 200 healthcare professionals. 89% of the respondents said they would embrace technology that could improve continence care so, we asked our Distributor Channel Manager here at Ontex, Angela Gillespie, to share some of her thoughts on this topic.

Ontex wins the Award “Best Digital Innovation” from the 2023 Corporate IT Awards Belgium thanks to the Orizon Smart solution, an innovation that facilitates incontinence care management in care and hospital settings.

In July 2022, the Belgian Government announced an extra budget of 21 million euros to invest in innovative tools and technology that can help relieve some work pressure from nurses in hospitals.

Last year, we did a short poll with over 200 healthcare professionals at the UK Care Show 2022. These results confirmed that a huge 93% of healthcare professionals didn’t agree that individuals in a care setting were getting quality interactions with carers.

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.
