Which alarm keeps delirious patients safer? new study tests two High-Tech solutions
NCT ID NCT05391334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 170 older hospital patients with delirium (sudden confusion) to see which bed-exit alarm works better at preventing falls. One system uses pressure-sensitive mats, the other uses a contactless radar device. The goal was to find out which technology more reliably alerts staff when a patient tries to get out of bed unsupervised.
