What is this category?
This category includes wireless sensor mats and compatible accessories that detect pressure when a person stands on the mat and then send an alert to a paired monitor or nurse call system. The focus is on cordless operation, simple placement beside the bed or across doorways, and reliable integration into existing monitoring setups. Safe-Life offers facility-grade kits, home care kits and individual wireless floor mat parts so sites can match the solution to each resident or home environment.
How do these wireless sensor mats work?
- The mat is placed on the floor beside a bed, at a doorway or along a walking path.
- When a person stands on the mat, the pressure change is detected by the sensor.
- A linked wireless transmitter sends a signal to the associated monitor or nurse call point.
- The monitor generates an audible and/or visual alert so staff or carers can respond.
- In facilities, alerts can route through existing nurse call systems so workflows do not change.
Most falls in aged care happen close to the bed, so early detection at the first step is a practical way to reduce risk.
Who are these products for?
- Elderly residents who are unsteady on their feet when getting out of bed.
- People with dementia or cognitive impairment who may wander without warning.
- Residents who try to stand or walk before staff arrive to assist.
- Hospitals wanting cordless mats around beds where multiple devices already share limited floor space.
- Family homes needing a simple wireless sensor mat near the bed or bedroom door for night-time safety.
- Facilities looking to replace older corded mats with neater wireless alternatives.
What types of wireless floor mat products are in this category?
- Wireless floor mat kits – Complete solutions combining a floor mat, transmitter and monitor. For example, many facilities standardise on the Cura1 Cordless Floor Mat Kit for ready to install coverage beside the bed.
- Foldable wireless mats – Hinged or foldable mats that store easily and travel well for home care. Home users often choose a foldable option such as the Cura1 Universal Foldable floor mat Economy Wireless Kit – Home Use to keep beside the bed.
- Individual wireless floor mats – Standalone mats like the Cura1 Cordless Floor Mat – 2624 that connect to compatible wireless monitors in facilities or home settings.
- Transmitters and wireless modules – Clip-on modules that allow supported mats to talk wirelessly to a monitor or pager system.
