In relation to the falls alarms, can you use the bed sensor on a chair?
Yes, either the bed sensor or the chair sensor can be used in either a bed or a chair. Sometimes it is better to put the sensor on the back of the chair rather than the seat – this will alarm as the individual bends forward prior to standing. Likewise, in a bed it is sometimes better to place the bed sensor at shoulder level to alarm as the individual sits up.
