What do Bed Sensors Do?
Firstly, let’s explain what Bed Sensors do. As we get older, many of us require increased levels of care. It is crucial for our loved ones to be safe and secure and receive care when we need it. The best way to provide this care is to invest in a good bed sensor system, such as Auto Bed Alert. Bed Sensors work by immediately alerting a carer that a person has left the chair or bed. Bed Sensors replace cumbersome Floor and Bed Mat solutions and have the advantage of the use of sophisticated non-touch technology.
How do Wireless Bed Sensors Work?
The most advanced solutions on the market today for bed sensors uses wireless technology. A small sensor clips on to a person’s bed or chair without touching the person. It works as an alarm system which is connected to the internet and it alerts a carer via an app when the person leaves the chair or bed. The sensor works by detecting heart rate. Every few seconds it updates the system with the current status of the person. If it detects lack of presence of a live heart rate on the chair or bed, it sends an alert within 3 seconds via an app to the carer’s smart device, smartphone, desktop or tablet. The carer then goes to provide assistance. When used in nursing homes or residential care settings, the system has the added advantage of letting the carer know exactly which resident in which room requires assistance so they understand exactly where to go and can do so in an expedient manor.
How does Auto Bed Alert compare to other solutions on the market?
Bed pads and bed mats are based on weight on the bed or mat. However, many of these solutions are not very reliable. Auto Bed Alert actually tracks a live heart rate as is extremely accurate. It knows the heart rate of the person in the bed or chair and when the heart rate disappears it knows the person has left the bed or chair. In other words, it knows if there is human presence or not.
The problem with current systems is that they are not sufficient. Weight on a bed or mat is not an accurate portrayal of whether there is someone actually in the bed or not. Auto Bed Alert is far more reliable and accurate solution. Also, it’s not a trip hazard AND in addition, it doesn’t require the cumbersome maintenance that bed pads, bed mats or floor mats require. Nor does it require the resident to wear a bracelet or any other piece of equipment.
What is the advantage of using Auto Bed Alert in Nursing Homes, Residential Care Centers or Hospitals?
One key advantage Auto Bed Alert is that the system records data. It tracks how many times in a specific time-period that a particular resident has gotten out of bed, and at what times, and also it knows how many times a carer has gone to respond to that resident. It knows the length of time it takes to get to that person. It provides management reports about exactly how active the resident has been and also how active the carer has been. This is a huge advantage for management and it’s also good for the families of people who are in a nursing homes because they can be shown how active their loved one has been, and the quality of care provided. It’s a record of actual events that no other system can provide.
