The chair and bed sensor is a versatile monitoring and notification system, providing you with radio paging alerts when rising from your bed or chair.

The device includes integral voice recording to allow personal reminder messages to be played back. For example, a helpful reminder to request you to remain in bed or sat on your chair as you begin to rise. This is ideal if you have reduced mobility and are prone to falls and/or memory loss.

The chair and bed sensor can be used singularly or as part of a multiple bed and chair monitoring system and can be connected directly to Telecare systems.

Canary Care is a sensor monitoring and notification system. It monitors movement, door activity, temperature and light levels and notifies you, your family or an authorized contact of any issues.

The Easylink epilepsy sensor, monitors and detects typical tonic-clonic seizure movement during your sleeping period. The sensor is positioned between the sheet and the mattress.

The TrueKare device is a personal alarm that can be used to raise an alert outside of your home. By pressing the SOS button the device automatically calls up to 3 emergency responders (voicemail has to be turned off).

Once the call is answered the device will turn on the 2-way communication allowing you and the responder to have a conversation. The authorized users can request the location of the device and create geofencing zones.

Geofencing zones offer peace of mind as alerts (email and notifications) are automatically triggered if you leave a safe area or enter an unsafe area.
