Hi James Thanks for responding. Sorry for late reply, I attach an email with more detail, it is a very difficult issue to monitor. Any thoughts welcome. Many thanks Emma -----Original Message----- From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals.

From a sensor/monitor point of view, we need to talk about range of movement, vibration, location.

The difficulty is that he sometimes sits on the bed when he is self harming, I am assuming that a PIR is the only option? But the positioning is critical and not always effective.
