How assistive technology, pendant alarms and telecare can support someone who has sensory needs

For someone living with a sensory need, we can provide a system of help that automatically triggers an alert call if it senses a risk:

• A fall detector which triggers automatically if it senses a fall
• Environmental sensors – alerting the control room to levels of excess heat, smoke, carbon monoxide, water and cold
• Pillow alerters that vibrate when the smoke detector activates
• Beacons that light up when the smoke detector activates
• A Care Watch that monitors a person’s sleep pattern, daily activity and body temperature amongst other factors to build up a picture of their health, plus an emergency button to press
• PIR wellbeing motion sensors that check someone is up and well for the day
• For individuals with sensory needs, verbal communication might be challenging. We can offer SMS texting to the control room rather than speaking to an operator.
