SAFE
Falls Detection and
Prevention System
SAFE is a fall detection and alert system that uses thermal imaging sensors to provide clinicians with advanced warnings of potential fall incidents. SAFE is a non-intrusive but effective way of preventing falls from beds which is ideal for hospitals, care homes and other residential settings.
It uses a thermal imaging sensor and intelligent algorithms to detect the potential risk level of a patient’s position in a bed. If system deems a patient to be at risk it sends out an alert to nearby clinicians instantly alerting them to a possible fall. In effect, increases a clinician’s field of view and enables them to monitor a patient’s risk of falling even when they are not present in the room.
The SAFE Smart Surveillance Unit (SSU) is placed on the ceiling above the bed of a patient, where the system monitors the patient’s position within the bed by cross-referencing it with predefined classifications - this information is then transmitted instantly to all relevant persons in real-time. To further increase system usability, portable handheld devices are included which enable the clinician to move freely around the environment whilst keeping in touch with patient movements.
