bed alarm
Mattress exit alert
A bed alarm is a device that alerts caregivers when a patient leaves or attempts to leave their bed, used primarily in hospitals and nursing homes to prevent falls among elderly, confused, or mobility-impaired patients.
The alarm typically triggers when pressure is released from a sensor pad placed under the mattress or attached to the patient's clothing.
