About SmartBed
SmartBed is an IoT sensor solutions in healthcare beds to monitor the position, absence or presence of the client. Currently, our population is ageing and is in need of more and more care. Nursing is short of hands and is under constant pressure, especially at night, due to a shortage of qualified care staff and financial constraints. This sensor solution can reduce workload of nursing personnel and improve care for clients. With the innovative SmartBed an extra pair of eyes is watching.
Work pressure reduction and improved care
The SmartBed contains sensors that determine the presence and absence of the client. The bed also detects whether a client is sitting on the edge of the bed. By monitoring these two statuses, false alarms are minimized and workload is reduced. The prevention of bedsores (decubitus) is an important focus point in care. Preventive measures, when clients turn over every 3 to 4 hours, are very labor intensive. In practice, many clients turn on their own. The SmartBed monitors which clients turn on their own, because the sensors register the posture of the client. Because of this secure monitoring, a better turning policy can be implemented.
Instant notification
The smart module, attached under the bed, can be linked to currently implemented IT systems in the care sector. These can be either existing or new platforms. Via the device (e.g. the caregiver's mobil phone or tablet) the desired alarm eventually reaches the end point.
Scalable concept
The scalability of this concept is unique. The smart-ready mattress is offered at the same price as the healthcare mattresses. Care institutions can make use of these smart functionalities at any time, with a data subscription model at low cost.

Nursing homes
SmartBed relieves the burden on staff in retirement homes and care facilities. Staffing levels are particularly tight - a small number of carers have to look after a large number of residents around the clock. SmartBed relieves the burden by providing targeted information about the patient's condition in bed.
Home care
Caring for relatives at home is a major challenge. It usually comes on top of work and household chores. It is therefore impossible to constantly look after the person being cared for. SmartBed offers carers additional security - even if they are unable to be directly on site.
Hostpitals
Similar to private care facilities, there is also a chronic shortage of staff in hospitals. The number of patients requiring care is even higher. The scalable concept enables large facilities to use SmartBed at low cost by means of a data subscription model.
