Wouldn't a simple tilt switch do the job.
 
Try Wanderguard, not used their kit, but they seem to have the range of products you are looking for.

Subject: Sit to Stand Buzzer

Hi,

 

I have a patient on a rehab ward who have been considering ideas to remind the patient to stay seated in her wheelchair/static chair. The Dr. was asking whether we had a buzzer that triggered when they started to stand up, perhaps a pressure switch, switch inverter and buzzer. The inverter I don't seem to be able to find as a commercial product. A Tray or lapbelt would be an obvious low tech solution. There would need to be a detailed risk assessment too.

 

Does anyone have a specific product you consider would work?

Has anyone tried this successfully too?

 

Many thanks,
