The PairBeam Caregiver (sm)
The PairBeam Caregiver assists caretakers to monitor the mobility of vulnerable persons
The Problem
The PairBeam Caregiver helps keep vulnerable adults and toddlers safe and cared for in their homes or within facilities solving a serious problem common to all caregivers; we can’t be in the presence of those we care for while busy elsewhere.
Aging adults called to dinner often leave their room without remembering to bring teeth or medications and can now be audibly reminded. Toddlers can hear a familiar voice causing them to pause long enough for a caregiver to respond.
The BeamBox controller may be configured to audibly inform or warn vulnerable adults, “speak” to toddlers and send notifications to caregivers who may respond to the circumstances. Caretakers now have a means to intervene when vulnerable persons move from safe areas to unsafe areas while staying busy elsewhere.
The Solution
The PairBeam Caregiver detects transverse movement across two pairs of Infra-Red beams controlled by a single board computer which emits audible messages at the point of demarcation and wirelessly sends notifications of the event to caretaker(s) when the beams are crossed from one direction and not the other.
Unlike conventional devices which detect movement within radial spatial zones causing high false alarm rates single direction break beam detection guarantees freedom of spatial movement until crossing a line of demarcation indicating movement in a direction into or out of safe or unsafe spaces providing care giving consumers peace of mind and the reliable assurance they may occupy themselves elsewhere until notified of circumstances which may require their presence.
