Emfit SafeDoor
Emfit SafeDoor is a smart door monitoring system specially designed for people with dementia.
There are an increasing number of people with dementia who live at home or in assisted living facilities. For such persons, the risk of wandering and getting lost is high, especially at night, as there are often times a limited number of personnel to notice someone is missing.
SafeDoor is a discreet and intelligent door monitoring system, that monitors the door and alarms to the caregiver in case of wandering. SafeDoor’s advanced functionality notices and alerts only in the event a person goes out of the door, and not just open it. It is also possible to use delay to allow person shortly visit outside.
The monitor device (D-1170-2G) has both audible alarm and
dry-contact output for connecting to existing nurse call system. System
uses Emfit floor sensor (L-6090SL) inside at the door and magnetic switch at the
door frame.
Immediate alarms are most appropriate when help is nearby. If help is far away, as might be the case with in-home care situations, it is very important that the system be as “nuisancefree” as possible so unnecessary check-ups are minimized.
Independent people with dementia don’t always avoid
unnecessary door openings when the alarm is on.
Immediate alarms restrict people who are normally
cognitively alert and capable of short walks by themselves. Intelligent SafeDoor
makes possible a delayed notification if exceeded and the person has not
returned inside. The delayed alarm minimizes unnecessary alarms and enables more
independent living.
The new 2009 released 2nd generation monitor is operated
with 2 pcs AA size 1,5 V batteries. An optional, medical grade AC adapter is
also available.
