Floor Pressure Mat - from £34
The most popular approach for alerting carers to night time wanderers is the pressure mat. With a pager or plugged into a call system, it alerts carers in response to foot or body pressure. Generally placed by the bed or door.
On Bed Pressure Mat
This air-operated pressure mat alerts when an individual attempts to get out of bed. The pressure mat is the full length of a single bed. The system alerts by either a supplied pager system or through your existing call system.
On Chair Pressure Mat
The air-operated pressure mat alerts when a seated individual starts to get out of a chair. The system alerts by either a supplied pager system or through your existing call system.
Magmat
The Magmat offers the ability to monitor specific individuals movement through a doorway. The system works by placing tiny sensors in the shoe of the monitored individuals. The Magmat alerts only when a monitored individual crosses the doorway.
