Auto Bed Alert is a startup founded in 2020 and headquartered in Ireland. The company’s slogan, "Our Bed Sensor device is a revolutionary product for nursing home and care staff providing real-time information," highlights its innovative approach within the Care Economy and Health Care industries. The Auto Bed Alert device is described as a high-tech early warning sensor for falls-prevention, empowering care workers to respond to patients before a fall occurs.
The technology tracks patient movement in a bed or chair and relays this information to an in-house or remote care assistant via a phone or tablet app. In January 2021, the company secured Seed Round investment from the Hartnett Enterprise Acceleration Centre, demonstrating early investor confidence in the startup’s potential to make a meaningful impact in the healthcare sector.
