Your questions, answered.
Everything care homes, hospitals and families ask us about predictive bed-exit alerting.
How much warning does BedExit give before a fall?
Typically about 10–15 seconds before the patient is on their feet, because BedExit detects the preparation to rise rather than waiting for the patient to leave the bed. Weight-off-bed pressure pads usually give only 2–7 seconds.
Does the patient have to wear anything?
No. Nothing is worn, charged or remembered by the patient — which is exactly why it keeps working for dementia patients who remove wearables.
Does BedExit use a camera?
No camera and no microphone. No images, no audio — the bedroom stays private. It works in complete darkness and needs no line of sight.
Will it work for a dementia patient who wanders at night?
Yes. With nothing worn and no camera, it suits dementia and night-wandering situations, alerting a caregiver as the patient begins to get up — at any hour, from any side of the bed.
How does BedExit avoid false alarms?
It targets the specific pattern that precedes standing rather than reacting to every movement, and it ignores sunlight, heaters, fans and pets. The low false-alarm rate is what keeps staff trusting the alert.
Is BedExit a medical device?
No. It's a safety and caregiver-awareness device that supports supervision and fall-prevention protocols. It assists — and does not replace — caregiver judgement, and makes no diagnostic claims.
How is it installed?
It installs with the existing bed in minutes — no rewiring, no change to the patient's routine. Start on selected high-risk beds and expand.
Is it affordable for ordinary homes and families?
Yes — it was designed to be. Begin with the highest-risk beds and scale up. Contact us for current pilot and pricing details.
