Fall And Wandering Alarms
Problem We are Solving
Today about 36 % of people over 85 years suffer moderate or severe dementia. In long term care units this usually means over 50 % of patients. A person who suffers from dementia, cannot press a pendant to summon for help. At night and day, many of these fragile persons leave their beds or chairs alone even though they should not take a single step without someone helping. A patient fall is the most common adverse event that occurs in long term care facility today. Each year, thousands and thousands of patients are injured, many severely, by a fall after leaving their bed or chair.
Another problematic issue among dementia care is wandering. Patients, often continuously, leave their rooms and either go out to perhaps freeze or wander to other patients rooms and wake them up too. This can cause a lot of extra work and worry to nurses and lead to severe personal injuries.
Specially Designed for Dementia Care
Emfit Dementia Care products are specifically designed to summon automatic help for persons suffering from dementia. Products are based on Emfit's exclusive and patented ferroelectret sensor technology. This means unnoticeable sensors that are installed under mattress on even below flooring. These sensors are extremely durable and sensitive, which means new kind presence/absence notification. Unlike switching mats, these sensors notice person presence based on vital life signs.
Best Return-on-Investment
In long term care, Emfit's dynamic sensors have the best return-on-investment (ROI) on the market. Because the sensor is installed below the mattress it simply outlasts its rivals. For the most fragile patients, the ultra thin floor sensor provides alarm to the nurse already when the patient is still in bed but intenting to leave it and having the feet touching the floor.
How are we different?
Dynamic Emfit sensors operate differently to switch mats and therefore our alarm devices use sophisticated digital signal processing. Our bed sensor install below mattress and is therefore multi-person use. Its use-time is normally 3-5 years. That gives big saving compared to short use time sensors.
Emfit electronics feature easy to use operations, with all the necessity and nothing extra. For example for bed-exit monitoring, one device can be used with both bed and floor sensor. We never know what is best for next customer. It is easy to change the sensor from bed type to floor type and vice versa. Power is supplied with medical grade power supply. For wireless long-distance alarm transfer, company was the first to utilize the GSM cell phone technology.
