Selected sensors that no elderly person should be without

Several UK companies provide a broad range of telecare products.

The leader among these is The Tunstall Group, Ltd. (http://www.tunstall.co.uk ), which provides telecare sensor products and product packages that are uniquely suited to elderly populations living at home, such as this product:

• Fall Detector, that uses an intelligent 2-stage detection process that is initiated at the fall’s impact, identifies the person’s orientation, and initiates a radio alarm signal when needed. 

More details on Tunstall products are available at: www.tunstall.co.uk/4_6telecare.htm

A second company that offers telecare products is Tynetec, Ltd, which provides a range of ALTec smart devices/sensors for continuous monitoring to use with social alarm products, such as  

• Moisture/Flood Detector, should water inadvertently be left running in an elderly person’s home
• Passive Infra Red Intruder Detector, for alerting both a resident and local authorities of unwanted/uninvited visitors

Each of the devices is suitable for alarm generation and environmental sensing. More details are available at http://www.tynetec.co.uk
