Aug22136 25. Care Technology CEO of the Year 2024 (Central Europe): Rainer Planinc If there is one thing, we are certain of, it’s that people around the world are getting older and the use of technology is crucial to avoid the collapse of the care system. One of these technologies is Artificial Intelligence, unlocking endless, previously unimaginable possibilities. Now, this innovative technology is making its way into the care sector thanks to award-winning CEO, Rainer Planinc. His passion for innovation and his focus on the needs of the elderly have been instrumental in launching cogvisAI to safeguard the wellbeing of the elderly population. Below, we dive into more details – specifically how Rainer introduced a radically new assistive technology into the healthcare sector across Europe. Established as a first mover in AI-based care technologies, cogvis, under the leadership of CEO Rainer Planinc, is a direct response to the lack of resources and technological solutions within the elderly care sector. Introducing a ‘smart care solution’ – aptly titled cogvisAI – the company offers access to an ingenious product that monitors activity, falls, and dementia via an intelligent 3D-smartsensor. Detailed as a ‘completely new way of thinking about care’, cogvisAI has already reduced the number of falls by 72%, and hospital admissions by an additional 60. Specifically designed to enable aging in dignity, cogvisAI alerts and visualizes while preserving privacy, thus providing actionable insights while reducing the stress of caregivers and lowering the costs for the healthcare system. Smart, easy to use, and capable of taking on the obligation of caring for the elderly, cogvisAI is an exemplary technology whose value simply can’t be matched. At the heart of it all is Rainer Planinc – an award-winning CEO whose vision to create technology in care has cultivated the care industry’s next major step forward. To truly understand how such an outstanding goal could be achieved, we must delve into the vision of Rainer. Since 2010, Rainer has immersed himself in the world of assistive technology for elderly people during his work at the Technical University of Vienna. The idea to not only detect but rather prevent accidents before they happen inspired Rainer to finish his PhD before co-founding cogvis and accomplishing his dream: establishing a product that would make a real difference. In 2018 Rainer was leading the market introduction as well as the development of the product, ensuring the production of an innovative solution with the highest quality. Rainer understood the needs within the care sector right from the beginning. This led to a smooth integration into the nurses' workflows, plug & play installation using SIM cards, and a flexible fall prevention module satisfying different needs. These features are the foundation of today's solution. After achieving the product-market fit in 2021, Rainer’s focus shifted towards the effective team expansion and an international rollout: finding the first partners in Sweden, Switzerland and UK which now act as a blueprint for additional partnerships. Scaling cogvis on an international level is the next step to ensure that the elderly within Europe can benefit from this ingenious solution that simply works. Although the future of care is still uncertain, cogvis provides a smart care solution that offers valuable insights to nurses making care work more attractive. Empowered by the myriads of successes earned by CEO Rainer Planinc over the years, cogvis holds the potential to really disrupt the way of working within the care sector. cogvisAI has already inspired a change, and it’s one that we hope will continue to flourish as the healthcare sector evolves in the years to come.
