How It Works

The pressure-sensitive alarm pad is placed beneath the patient on their bed or chair. When the patient is seated or lying down, their weight keeps the alarm deactivated. The moment they attempt to stand or shift their weight off the pad, the alarm immediately sounds, alerting nearby caregivers to provide assistance before a fall can occur.

Critical Fall Prevention Technology

Falls represent one of the most serious risks for hospitalized patients, nursing home residents, and elderly individuals. This alarm system provides an essential layer of protection by detecting movement attempts in real-time. Unlike visual monitoring alone, this pressure-sensitive technology works 24/7 without requiring constant direct observation, making it an invaluable tool for understaffed facilities and home caregivers.

Preserving Dignity While Ensuring Safety

Physical restraints can be distressing and dehumanizing for patients. This alarm system offers a compassionate alternative that maintains patient autonomy and comfort while still providing critical safety monitoring. Patients can move freely within safe parameters, with caregivers alerted only when intervention is needed.
