Technology House : Bedroom in this room

These sensors raise an alert as soon as you leave your bed or chair and do not return within a certain length of time (up to one hour). This can be individually programmed to suit your needs.

How can it be used?

  • To inform a loved one/ carer that the user has got out of bed
  • To check how much time is being spent in one position
  • Alerts can be sent to loved one/ carer to inform when the sensor has gone off
  • Wireless system prevents the risk of human interference
  • Soft, thin and lightweight sensor for user comfort

Who’s it for?

Those at risk of falls or may live independently and require extra peace of mind. People who may struggle to rise from a chair or exit a bed without issue. Dementia wandering and those with limited mobility.

There are a range of epilepsy monitors that can alert at the signs of various epilepsy triggers. They range from monitors that can trace one or two symptoms through to superior monitors that can trace multiple symptoms and have the capability of adding additional sensors to to monitor night time seizures, incontinence, vomiting, bed vacation and sounds.

  • To inform a loved one/ carer that a seizure is taking place
  • To inform a loved one/ carer that something has happened that needs intervention for example being sick.

Their sensitivity can be adjustable to isolate normal bed movement but respond to seizure activity.

They are suitable for most types of beds and environments.

What is it?

The ‘Pearl Advanced’ is a smart, easy to wear pendant with fall detection technology. If a fall is detected, or if the personal help button is pressed, ‘Pearl Advanced’ communicates bi-directionally with a SEVEN-D Lifeline Base Unit, which sends an alert to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), summoning help for the user. ‘Pearl Advanced’ has an elegant, discrete, casing that is water resistant and can be worn in the bath or shower. ‘Pearl Advanced’ automatically detects when a ‘hard fall’ has occurred and generates a fall alert to summon assistance.

Who is it for?
  • Those most likely to benefit from having the fall detector are:
  • People who have previously experienced a fall.
  • Living independently and not in residential care.
  • Mobile, by themselves or with an aid, but are not in a wheelchair.
  • People without significant cognitive impairment, so they can understand how to summon help and cancel a false alert.

‘Pearl Advanced’ has four available settings, and people can choose which one best suits their needs.
