TS File #..5

Portable alarm system

Client: A woman caring for her frail mother at home. The mother spends most of her time in a recliner chair. If she gets up and tries to move about the house, she is likely to fall and hurt herself.

Alarm system:
The daughter wanted a portable device that would alert her when her mother was up and on the move. She did not want a loud alarm that might upset her mother.

Firstly we modified a switch such that it would "switch on release". This switch was positioned under a cushion on the seat of the chair and connected via a timing circuit to a radio remote control transmitter.

The alarm consisted of a portable version of our Radio Linked Call Buzzer, fitted with a rechargeable battery.

How It Works:

The mother can move around within her chair without triggering the alarm but if she leaves the chair the alarm will be triggered after a few seconds.

The daughter can keep the portable Radio Linked Call Buzzer with her so that she will be alerted when her mother is out of the chair.
