Indoor door sensors

What it does:

  • This combines several devices to help people with cognitive impairments stay safe at home.
  • Two magnetic connectors link to a sensor that can send alerts to a pager (if someone is in the same house) or to a Lifeline unit for all-day, every-day monitoring.

How it can be used:

  • Alerts a loved one or carer if someone is walking with purpose.
  • Raises an alert to a monitoring centre that can contact and arrange support if needed.
  • Checks if a user is accessing certain rooms, like the bathroom or kitchen.

Who it's for:

  • Suitable for anyone with cognitive impairments.
  • Especially useful at night, giving peace of mind to family or carers that if the person wanders, an alert will be sent to their pager.
