What are Cura alarms?
Cura alarms are non-wearable in-home care alert systems that notify a carer when a sensor is triggered. Cura1 home care kits typically monitor bed exits, chair exits, floor movement, room movement, or door openings using wired or wireless sensors connected to a local pager or receiver.
How do Cura1 home care kits work?
- A sensor is placed at a key risk point such as a bed, chair, doorway, or beside the bed.
- The sensor connects to a transmitter or monitor, depending on whether the kit is wired or wireless.
- When the sensor is triggered, an alert is generated.
- The alert is sent to a local pager or receiver carried by a carer.
- The carer responds and resets the system if required.
