Discreet pressure pad sensors with wireless technology
The Bed/Chair Occupancy Sensor is a pressure pad which monitors occupancy and automatically raises an alarm call if unexpected activity is detected.
The sensor provides an early warning by alerting that the user has left their bed or chair and not returned within a pre-set time period, indicating a possible fall. The sensor can also be programmed to switch on the lights, helping those who may feel disorientated.
Enable independent living, with monitoring and protection
The Occupancy Sensor is designed for anyone who needs extra support to enable independent living, by increasing monitoring and protection in the home. It’s suitable for individuals who have recently been discharged from hospital, older people with mobility issues or anyone receiving medication.

How does it work?
The standard bed pressure pad is placed underneath the mattress on the bed. A wider bed pad is also available, which goes on top of a mattress; providing increased sensitivity where users are small, light or move significantly during their sleep.
When linked to a Lifeline home unit or other Tunstall telecare enabled system, the bed sensor assists carers to manage the risks associated with independent living by raising an alarm if an individual gets out of bed and does not return by a certain time.
