Monitoring Sensor "Tech Mat" for Psychiatric Hospitals

Detecting leaving the bed and body movements to reduce the risk of self-harm.

In psychiatric hospitals, it is important to prevent self-harming behaviors in patients before they occur. To ensure patient safety, continuous monitoring on a 24-hour basis is necessary, which may increase the burden on staff. The monitoring sensor "Techmat" detects when a patient gets out of bed or moves, reducing the risk of self-harm. This contributes to alleviating the burden on staff and ensuring patient safety. The Techmat, equipped with 1,024 independent sensor points, can accurately map the pressure distribution of elderly individuals with millimeter-level precision. It continuously monitors the posture and pressure conditions of elderly patients in bed 24/7. If the pressure on a specific area exceeds a set duration, it sends an alert to staff to prompt a position change. The Techmat identifies behaviors that pose a risk of falling by detecting in real-time when elderly individuals rise from bed or change their posture to sitting or lying down. When high-risk behaviors, such as getting up, are detected, the Techmat instantly triggers an alarm notification.
