Caring for senior citizens requires a delicate balance between providing independence and ensuring safety. For individuals with limited mobility or those on bed rest, even a small movement can lead to potential risks such as falls or injuries. This is where pressure mats, an innovative safety device, step in to offer a practical solution.
Designed to detect the presence or movement of individuals, pressure mats integrate seamlessly with wireless nurse call systems, providing timely alerts to caregivers and enhancing overall safety.
What Are Pressure Mats?
Pressure mats are flat, sensitive devices placed beneath a bed, chair, or in areas like doorways. They work by detecting pressure changes caused by movement or weight shifts. When triggered, they send a signal to a connected system, such as a wireless nurse call panel or wearable device, alerting caregivers immediately.
How Pressure Mats Work
- Placement: Positioned under a mattress, on the floor near the bed, or at critical locations like door thresholds.
- Detection: The mat detects when a patient tries to get up or steps onto it.
- Alert Generation: Sends a signal to a connected wireless nurse call system, triggering an alert for the caregiver.
- Timely Response: Caregivers can respond immediately, preventing potential falls or injuries.
