Patient Bed Alarm Monitoring Systems
Fall prevention and patient safety becomes convenient and hassle-free with our wide selection of patient bed alarms.
A bed sensor alarm allows a caregiver to monitor the activity of a patient or loved one. Typically, this type of bed alarm uses a sensor or pad and operates through motion detection — particularly a reduction of pressure when a patient gets out of bed. Bed alarms will alert the unit when pressure is removed from the sensor. Tr
What is a Bed Alarm?
A bed alarm is a device used to monitor a patient's movements in bed. It is often used in the form of a pad placed on the mattress. The alarm detects changes in pressure and movement, alerting caregivers when a patient is at risk of falling or wandering.
Benefits of Using a Bed Alarm for Fall Prevention
In both home and hospital settings, bed alarms offer several advantages:
- If you’re caring for a patient or loved one at risk for a fall injury, this solution notifies you when they may accidentally slip and fall.
- If you care for someone at risk of wandering off, the bed alarm alerts you when they’re attempting to escape.
- In both of these instances, the bed alarm also lets you know when a patient needs to use the bathroom and requires assistance.
- The alarm’s quick response limits having to search for a patient who has potentially left your home or facility and reduces their risks for a more significant injury.
Types of Hospital Bed Alarms
Bed alarms use one of the following formats:
- Mattress pad, which is located on top of the mattress and below the sheet and sends an alert when it notices a change in pressure.
- Wearable and string alarms attach directly to their clothing or the headboard.
- Infrared alarms monitor the exterior of the bed and send an alert in response to outside interference.
