Abstract

A system for monitoring the bed of patients potentially at risk of falls comprises three distinct parts: the control unit (1) with associated wifi antenna (4), the scanner (2) and the monitor (3), also with an associated wifi antenna (5). The control unit (1) and the scanner (2) are located in the patient's room, monitoring and interpreting his or her movements. The monitor (3) is located at the care station where are located the nurses, technicians or caretakers that take care of the patients. When the control unit (1) detects by means of the scanner (2) any movement of the patient, it wirelessly transmits (via wifi) a signal by means of the antenna (4). The monitor (3) in turn receives this signal by means of its associated antenna (5) and warns the caretakers about the patient's movements.
