Otiom ensures that you can be quickly located if you get lost, and call for help if you are in need.
Freedom and safety in one solution
Otiom was created through Denmark’s largest public-private innovation partnership. In 2016, people living with dementia, relatives, care professionals, organizations, municipalities, and universities came together to find effective solutions to prevent people from going missing.
Today, Otiom has a dual focus: to provide both freedom and safety, with the ability to quickly locate someone if they get lost – while also ensuring an easier and more secure everyday life for people who need fast access to help.
- Enables people to move freely without constant supervision.
- Provides peace of mind, knowing the person can be quickly located and helped when needed.
- Allows precise location tracking and rapid response if a person requires urgent assistance.

Does Otiom provide constant tracking?
Otiom’s goal is to grant people with dementia the freedom to live their lives – without feeling monitored.
Otiom only locates a person once it is necessary. By not keeping the individual with dementia under constant surveillance, the person retains their . This means freedom – both for the individual with dementia as well as relatives and caregivers.
Otiom respects the user’s privacy. Therefore, Otiom cannot be used for ‘constant surveillance’, where you are continuously monitoring someone or something. When Otiom was developed, users, relatives and industry experts indicated that there was no interest in monitoring or being monitored around the clock. This is why Otiom only locates the user when the alarm is triggered.
Otiom considers it important that users understand that their data is being processed appropriately. We are therefore in compliance with all rules and regulations on data protection.
