Sensor Mats for Aged Care and Hospitals
Sensor Mats are essential tools in Aged Care Facilities and Hospitals. They are designed to enhance safety by monitoring patient movements and thereby prevent falls.
These mats detect when patients leave their bed or step on the floor, triggering bed alarms through either a stand-alone or integrated system.
They are especially useful for elderly patients and those with dementia, helping caregivers respond promptly to minimise risks.
How Sensor Mats Work
Sensor Mats detect pressure changes, such as when a patient steps onto the mat or exits the bed. These events send a signal to nurse call systems, alerting caregivers immediately.
Wireless models connect directly to existing nurse call systems ensuring seamless communication without the need for extensive wiring.
Mats are placed strategically beside beds, doorways, or high-risk areas to provide 24/7 monitoring.
Beam Sensors
Beam sensors are highly effective tools used alongside sensor mats to enhance safety in Aged Care and hospital environments.
These sensors transmit an invisible beam from a transmitter to a receiver, triggering an alert when the beam is interrupted.
Beam sensors are particularly useful in high-traffic areas such as hallways, doorways, or around restricted zones, where continuous monitoring is required.
In aged care, they help prevent wandering by patients with dementia by detecting movement through doorways or exits.
Integrated with nurse call systems, beam sensors enable caregivers to respond quickly when movement is detected in areas that require supervision, complementing the coverage provided by sensor mats.
Their ability to monitor large spaces without physical contact makes them ideal for ensuring patient safety while maintaining comfort and mobility within care facilities.
Chair Sensor Mats
Chair sensor mats further enhance patient safety, for those individuals prone to falls.
Chair sensor mats are placed on chairs or wheelchairs to detect when a patient rises or falls, immediately triggering an alert through the connected nurse call system.
Caregivers are notified in real-time, allowing them to respond swiftly and reduce the risk of injury.
Chair sensor mats are particularly beneficial in preventing unnoticed movements or falls, especially during unsupervised moments.
Wireless models further enhance convenience by seamlessly integrating with existing nurse call systems, eliminating the need for hardwiring.
Fall Prevention and Prediction with AI-Powered Sensors
In addition to traditional sensor mats, advanced technologies such a Vayyar Care are transforming fall prevention and prediction.
Vayyar’s system leverages machine learning and AI to monitor patient behaviour, detect falls, and predict potential risks before they occur.
These smart sensors analyse patterns and behaviours continuously, providing caregivers with actionable insights to manage fall risks proactively.
With automatic fall detection and data-driven analytics, Vayyar Care enables caregivers to address risks early, reducing the likelihood of incidents and improving response times.
Integrating with nurse call systems, these AI-enabled sensors ensure seamless communication, alerting staff immediately to emergencies and enhancing both patient safety and operational efficiency.
