Care routines and safety measures must continue to be followed in accordance with the requirements of the respective care facility.

An “area” is an operational area configured within the alea Cockpit and technically defined through the system configuration (e.g., placement of system components and wireless coverage).

Area events can be enabled or disabled individually for each care recipient.
Definition and assignment of areas are performed by authorized users within the alea Cockpit.
