Advantages for older people
Early detection of falls: The sensor mat detects when a person falls or remains in an unusual position for a long time. In this case, it immediately sends a notification to care staff or relatives. This means that help can be provided quickly.
Increased safety in everyday life: Intelligent sensor mats offer an additional safety net, especially for senior citizens living alone.
Support for fall prevention: The sensors analyze movement patterns and can help to identify risk areas in the living space. This makes it possible to prevent falls in advance.
Discreet surveillance without cameras: In contrast to surveillance cameras, sensor mats preserve the privacy of older people while still enabling effective security monitoring.
Relief for care staff and relatives: care staff and family members are informed in real time if a critical event occurs. This reduces the need for constant monitoring and enables a targeted response in an emergency.
Integration into smart home systems: Modern sensor mats can be integrated into existing smart home systems and can activate additional functions such as lighting control. Example: If you get up in the night, a night light can turn on automatically, for example.
Intelligent sensor mats help to increase the safety and independence of older people and at the same time make care easier.
