Detection devices used to monitor patients and elderly in bed

Concept Video

Background

Some of the conventional detection devices used to monitor patients and elderly in bed are imbedded in mattress, fixed in bed frame or infrared monitoring which tends to be expensive. There is an increasing demand for an easy-to-use bed sensor that can be purchased at reasonable cost.

Solutions

By installing small and thin EnerCera battery, it is possible to make a wearable type sensor that can be worn comfortably on the back of the patient at affordable cost. By combining the high power EnerCera battery, sensing data can be transmitted in real time by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which enables to immediately notify the care recipient when something goes wrong. By analyzing the logged data, it is also possible to grasp the life pattern of the patient, which makes it easy for the care staff to anticipate and respond in case of emergency.

  • 1. A wearable sensor that can be worn on the back can be realized with the ultra-compact and thin EnerCera Pouch
  • 2. Realized cost reduction by making it a small wearable sensor
  • 3. Since it is a semi-solid battery, you can always wear it. It is safe and secure.
