Safe sleep

Safe and secure through the night

What support relieves families in the nursery.

Bedroom monitoring aids play an important role in the safety and well-being of children and young adults with disabilities. They not only provide comfort but also peace of mind for caregivers by enabling effective monitoring. Here are some common devices:

1. Baby monitors
   Baby monitors, also used for children and young adults with disabilities, allow caregivers to monitor the person remotely. Some models offer two-way communication to soothe or respond when needed.
2. Motion sensors
   These devices monitor changes in activity during sleep, such as changes in position or sudden movements (e.g. falls or seizures), and raise the alarm immediately. They are particularly helpful for people with limited mobility or seizure disorders.
3. Seizure monitoring devices
   Specialized devices for people with epilepsy detect abnormal movements or changes in heart rate and send alerts to caregivers or family members. They are particularly important during sleep to prevent undetected seizures.
4. Smart sensors
   These sensors monitor health data such as heart rate, oxygen levels and sleep patterns in real time. They are useful for people who need continuous monitoring and often connect to mobile apps for analysis and trend monitoring.
5. Ambient monitoring systems
   These systems use sensors and cameras to monitor the environment, including room temperature, air quality and noise levels. They can also detect movement and raise the alarm if someone leaves the bed or behaves suddenly.

Conclusion

Monitoring systems in the bedroom can provide noticeable relief for families - especially at night, when uncertainty is often at its greatest. They create a sense of security, allow parents to react more quickly and give them the chance to calm down. They do not replace closeness, but support it - for calmer nights and more confidence in everyday life.

Getemed vG 310
We sleep much more peacefully knowing that we have everything in view in an emergency.

Rad-8® and baby monitor
One of our children is monitored with a pulse oximeter while he sleeps. As we need to keep an eye on both him and his values at all times, we have a Blemil baby monitor, where you can connect two cameras. One is aimed at the bed, the other at the pulse oximeter. The monitor of the baby monitor allows both cameras to be displayed on the screen at the same time, so that we can always keep an eye on both the values and the child.

Philips Avent Connected Baby Monitor
For children with epilepsy, this baby monitor is the best for us - we have already tested over 10! Thanks to the high volume in the nursery, we can also hear seizures at night, which is very reassuring. It has a great camera for day and night, is app compatible and has a long battery life.

Since we've had the device, everyone is sleeping much more soundly. We can always keep an eye on oxygen saturation and heart rate.
