Qwiek.embrace
The Qwiek.embrace offers people with dementia greater security, peace of mind, and a sense of closeness. This can make a big difference, especially during moments of restlessness, anxiety, or sadness. With three sensory stimuli in a single device—deep pressure stimulation, vibration, and sound—the Qwiek.embrace helps reduce tension and provide comfort, even when a caregiver cannot always be physically present.

Why does your organization need Qwiek.embrace?
Why does your organization need Qwiek.embrace?
Rest Without Medication
The Wzd requires a continuous search for less intrusive alternatives before involuntary care is implemented, and behavior-modifying medication falls under this category. The Qwiek.embrace provides calm and relaxation when needed, without restricting freedom and without medication. It is a concrete alternative that you can include in the care plan.
Adult Alternative
Many assistive devices are perceived as childish. With its stylish, understated, and neutral design, the Qwiek.embrace fits into an adult living environment and blends seamlessly with the client’s world.
Three incentives in one tool
It combines deep pressure stimulation, soothing vibrations, and calming sounds. This combination promotes deep relaxation—without an app, Wi-Fi, or a data connection.
Washable, waterproof, and durable
Designed for intensive daily use in healthcare settings. The cover is machine-washable at 60 °C and can be replaced separately; the waterproof inner lining protects against moisture and hygiene incidents. When it wears out, you only need to replace the cover, not the entire device: a sustainable choice that aligns with circular procurement.
Proximity as an extra pair of hands
Providing constant one-on-one care is not feasible in practice. The Qwiek.embrace acts as a reliable extra pair of hands, offering a sense of security and closeness when the caregiver cannot be physically present.
Tested and measured in real-world conditions
Developed in collaboration with healthcare organizations such as Zuyderland, Envida, Vitalis, ZuidOostZorg, and Kennemerhart. In a practical study conducted in two psychogeriatric wards, the measured well-being increased from 3% to 69%.
