Patient Movement Sensors

A patient movement sensor provides a safe, dependable care solution for residential, clinical and home care environments. The PIR motion sensor is a small battery-powered sensor that will detect when a person gets out of bed or walks through a doorway. Ideal for restless patients, dementia patients and the elderly, it immediately detects attempts to leave the bed or room.

Using infrared technology, the patient movement sensor can be placed at the bedside or in the doorway. The battery-powered motion sensor will then alert staff to any movement in the room by activating the nurse call system

Customising Sensor Sensitivity for Optimised Monitoring

The sensor sensitivity of modern devices plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate detection and minimising false alarms. Many of these sensors utilise infrared technology to detect motion and can be calibrated to suit different environments or levels of activity. Users can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor based on their specific needs, whether it's to capture subtle movements or only respond to significant actions.

One of the most important aspects of customisation is the range of the sensor. By configuring the device, users can control how far it can detect motion and trigger an alarm or alert. This allows for tailored monitoring in various settings—whether in a small room or across a large area. High-sensitivity settings might be ideal for smaller, more confined spaces, while lower sensitivity can help avoid false alerts in high-traffic zones.

Additionally, these sensors can be integrated into a broader system, sending real-time signals to monitoring devices, and enabling immediate response when motion is detected. This makes them invaluable for healthcare, elderly care, and security settings, where timely intervention is crucial.

The device is designed to ensure that even minute movements within the set parameters are captured, reducing the likelihood of missed activity. The user can also receive tailored alerts through various monitoring platforms, ensuring that every detection is communicated efficiently.

With highly adjustable sensor sensitivity, the range and reliability of these sensors provide a customisable solution for multiple scenarios, making them indispensable for both safety and security purposes.

Wireless motion sensors linked to a pager are also available.
