ABSTRACT:
An audible, visual, and remote alarm system designed to monitor the status of a person in another room to know when assistance or attention may be needed; thereby, reducing or alleviating the caregiver's dilemma of being tethered to a very small area. The persons being monitored may include the elderly, Alzheimer patients, sleep walkers, and others who may be at risk by getting out of the chair, or off the bed without assistance and may not be able to rationalize the need to summon help. The system is also suitable for monitoring individuals who can consciously summon assistance by activating a magnetic switch. Primarily designed for use in private homes as a stand-alone system, this system can also be used to augment permanent call cord systems in hospitals, nursing homes, and residential facilities. An optional remote activator switch and wireless audible chime and visual indicator (light) is provided as a part of the alarm device that can be integrated to augment the alarm device to allow the caregiver to monitor an individual from a further distance. By using the wireless chime device, the caregiver can move about freely in the yard or garden while carrying the device on his/her person. Because it is powered by 9 volt battery's, the system is very flexible and portable to give the individual being monitored and caregiver both a better quality of life, as it allows for visitation to other places, homes, hotels and even campers or cruise ships.
