Wandering Prevention Systems

Electronic protection system for people with dementia and runaway tendency.

SeniorGuard®

Reliable protection for patients with mental illness

In nursing homes, taking care of disoriented residents with dementia poses a great challenge. The nursing goal is, on the one hand, to maintain and enhance the quality of life for as long as possible. On the other hand, due to the progressive and non-treatable symptoms of the disease, it is necessary to protect the affected people from danger through the targeted use of assistive technology.

The walk-away protection system SeniorGuard® was developed and optimised precisely for this purpose. It does not create physical barriers, but defines monitored movement zones in which free movement is possible for people with dementia. Leaving predefined protection zones leads to the immediate triggering of an alarm, which informs the responsible nursing staff in the form of an assistance call.

In addition, the SeniorGuard® system enables patients and caregivers to make mobile emergency calls to summon help as quickly as possible in dangerous situations.

LCA 500

The Locator LCA 500 is installed at the center of the zone to be monitored, which can include individual rooms or doorways. It continuously transmits an alarm signal in the LF frequency range at 125 kHz, with an adjustable range of approximately 1 to 5 meters. Each alarm field is identified by a unique location code for communication with amanTag® transponders within the locator’s reading range. An integrated UHF transceiver enables bidirectional communication with the amanTag® transponders. The LCA 500 locator can operate both standalone and online.

  • Comprehensive functionality for effective baby protection
  • Simultaneous identification of up to 10 individuals
  • Standalone and online operation
  • Compact design
  • Optional system configuration for extending the alarm field and detecting direction
LCA500-ELA locator

LCA 500 ELA

Compared to the LCA 500, which features an integrated loop antenna for generating the alarm field at 125 kHz, the LCA 500 ELA is designed to be used with specified loop antennas. These antennas are available in various design variants, such as door frame antennas, wall antennas, or floor antennas for outdoor areas. This design allows for a very precise definition and application-specific expansion of the wake-up field. The matching electronics integrated into the locator enable the connection of external loop antennas with a wide range of assigned inductance values.

  • Integration into and retrofitting of existing installations
  • Concealed installation of the locator, e.g., in a false ceiling
  • Easy connection of on-site loop antennas installed in doorways, walls, or floors

Digital Handle

Intuitive access control for living spaces and living areas

Electronic door opening systems are a widely used technical solution for gaining access to secured areas or private rooms using credentials, such as transponders or chip cards. The Digital Handle is specifically designed for use in care facilities, catering to residents with physical and mental disabilities.

This electronic door fitting allows a door to be opened without the explicit presentation of the required credential. Carrying an active transponder, which can be worn on the wrist, for example, is sufficient to grant authorized persons access to protected areas and residential rooms. The door fitting is equipped with a motion detector that activates the integrated amanTag® reader when someone approaches. The reader then evaluates the information from an amanTag® transponder, granting access to those with appropriate authorization.

  • Barrier-free access to residential rooms
  • Intuitive handling with a hands-free concept
  • Usable with both active amanTag® transponders and passive cards or transponders
  • Compatible with airLink wireless technology
  • Enhanced security for residents and staff

airLink® module

The ALS 20 airLink® module is designed to network door release elements distributed throughout a building via radio. It can operate in a frequency band with a 100% duty cycle, offering a high data rate and low transmission power, as well as in a band with a 1% duty cycle, offering a low data rate but high transmission power, thus providing a larger range. The primary application areas of the ALS 20 include registering all online bookings of digital cylinders and fittings in the reception area. Additionally, the radio technology enables wireless synchronization of all clocks in the system network, management of blacklist entries, and transmission of battery status messages to the central management software, Commander Connect.

  • Wireless networking for electronic door opening systems
  • Secure communication through AES data encryption
  • Modular expansion of network coverage

Patient transponder

The UTA 2 transponder is specifically designed for patients with dementia. If a patient prone to wandering enters an area monitored by the locator's transmission field, an alarm is immediately triggered to promptly inform nursing staff. The system can be configured to prevent alarms when a patient, accompanied by nursing personnel, enters specific monitoring areas, such as on the way to therapy. The transponder features a sticker resembling a wristwatch, designed to create the impression of an inconspicuous and familiar object, particularly for patients with dementia.

  • Effective protection for patients with dementia
  • Unobtrusive wristwatch design with clock face
  • In-house location tracking

UTA 3

Patient transponder

The UTA 3 transponder is used as a patient tag and can also serve as an alternative to the UTA 2 transponder for individuals with dementia. If a patient prone to wandering enters an unauthorized area monitored by a locator, an alarm is triggered, allowing nursing staff to respond promptly. The system can be configured to avoid triggering an alarm when an authorized companion is present. The wristband transponder features a discreet design and offers high comfort when worn.

  • Effective safeguarding for patients with dementia
  • Subtle and inconspicuous design
  • In-house location tracking
UTA1 transponder

UTA 1

Patient and nursing transponder

The UTA 1 serves as an alternative to the UTA 3, functioning both as a patient transponder and a device for staff in nursing stations. It features an additional push-button that can be used to trigger an assistance call, including an area identifier, while on the move. This call is received within a radius of 25 meters, generating an emergency alert for immediate notification of nursing or security staff. The integrated LED on the UTA 1 provides a status message after the push-button is pressed, confirming the successful transmission of the emergency call.

Flexible Extensibility

Adapting the system configuration's functionality

By integrating multiple locators into a network with a local primary unit, it is possible to expand the activation range. Several replicas can be connected to the primary unit, thereby extending the defined protection zones by linking the wake fields of the involved locators. This approach provides a simple and flexible method to cater to specific application requirements.

An additional level of expansion can be achieved through a synchronized primary-replica configuration with overlapping wake fields. This not only enables the tracking of individuals' locations but also provides clear detection of their movement direction. This extra information can be communicated to the nursing staff, serving as a basis for prompt action.
