Hi Neil,

 

I’ve used an Easylink Chair Sensor successfully in the past. It’s very easy to set up. If I remember rightly you can add a recorded message as well as use the standard alarms.

Cheers,

 

Aidan.

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,
