Bed occupancy sensor

A bed occupancy sensor is a device, usually a pressure pad placed under the mattress, that monitors whether someone is in bed. It detects changes in weight or pressure, alerting a caregiver or monitoring center if the person leaves their bed and doesn't return within a set timeframe, or if they haven't returned to bed by a certain time. This helps prevent falls and provides an early warning if someone might be wandering or in distress.

Bed weight sensor

A device that detects when a person leaves their bed, triggering an alarm to alert caregivers or family members. It works by detecting a change in weight on a pressure-sensitive pad, typically placed under the mattress. This helps prevent falls and provides peace of mind for those caring for individuals at risk of leaving their beds.
