Emfit Dementia Care, Fall And Wandering

 

Today about 36 % of people over 85 years suffer moderate or severe dementia. In long term care units this usually means over 50 % of patients.

 

A person who suffers from dementia, often cannot press a pendant to summon for help. At night and day, many of these fragile persons leave their beds or chairs alone even though they should not take a single step without someone helping.

 

Patient falls are the most common adverse event that occurs in long term care facility. Each year, many patients are injured, many severely, by a fall when after leaving their bed or chair.

 

Another problematic issue among dementia care is wandering. Patients, often continuously, leave their rooms and either go out to perhaps freeze or wander to other patients rooms and wake them up too. This can cause a lot of extra work and worry to nurses and may lead to severe personal injuries.

 

Specially Designed for Dementia Care

 

Emfit Dementia Care products are specifically designed to summon automatic help for persons suffering from dementia. Products are based on Emfit's exclusive and patented ferroelectret sensor technology. This means unnoticeable sensors that are installed under mattress on even below flooring. These sensors are extremely durable and sensitive, which means a new kind presence/absence notification. Unlike switching mats, these sensors notice person presence based on vital life signs.

 

Best Return-on-Investment

In long term care, Emfit's dynamic sensors have the best return-on-investment (ROI) on the market. Because the sensor is installed below the mattress it simply outlasts its rivals. For the most fragile patients, the ultra thin floor sensor provides alarm to the nurse already when the patient is still in bed, but intending to leave it and having the feet touching the floor.

 

How are we different?

Dynamic Emfit sensors operate differently to switch mats and therefore in company's alarm devices sophisticated digital signal processing is used. Electronics feature easy to use operations, with all the required functionality but simplicity.

 

For example for bed-exit monitoring, one device can be used with both bed and floor sensor allowing a simple swop from client to client. It is easy to change the sensor from bed type to floor type and vice versa. Single use batteries are not used; only AC adapters with bed exit or high class rechargeable NiMH batteries with the seat-exit alarm.

 

For wireless long-distance alarm transfer, company is the first to utilize the newest GSM mobile phone technology. 2-way communication will be brought to these high-end devices within nearest future.
