Pressure-sensitive detector mats as a healthcare tool

The CareMat contact mat from BBC Bircher Smart Access is used as a tool in healthcare to help those who have dementia and those who are prone to accidents.

It is connected to the nurse call system directly and is activated immediately when pressure is applied to the mat. This better protects the people being looked after from falling or wandering off.

As soon as the person being cared for puts weight on the mat, a signal is forwarded to the nurse call system, which is then activated. It represents a valuable aid to caregivers and nursing staff thanks to its reliable and pressure-sensitive properties.
