Bed Sensor Alarms

Bed Sensor Alarms

Bed sensor alarms are an essential tool for fall prevention and safety monitoring in both home and care settings. These devices detect when a person leaves their bed, sending an alert to caregivers or family members so they can respond quickly and prevent potential falls or injuries. Bed sensor alarms are particularly valuable for elderly individuals, people with mobility challenges, or those at higher risk of falls, offering peace of mind while supporting independence. Many models are suitable for in home or facility use thanks to their simplicity and durability.

Sensor Mat for Bed

A sensor mat for a bed is a pressure-sensitive mat placed on top of the mattress. When the user leaves bed, the mat triggers an alert, helping caregivers respond immediately. Sensor mats are non-intrusive, easy to position, and compatible with most nurse call systems, making them a reliable solution for monitoring high-risk or vulnerable users.

Bed Sensor Alarm

A bed sensor alarm is the central device that receives signals from a sensor mat and issues an alert, either through sound, vibration, or a remote notification. These alarms can be customised for different alarm types, ensuring that the system suits the user’s specific needs and the caregiver’s monitoring preferences.

Fall Prevention Bed Alarm System

Fall prevention bed alarms combine sensor mats and alert systems to create a proactive approach to reducing falls in care environments or at home. By providing real-time notifications when a person leaves their bed, these systems help prevent accidents, reduce hospitalisations, and support the independence and safety of users who may be at increased risk.
