Telecare sensors

Tunstall's range of telecare sensors currently available includes:


Personal health and well-being

Enuresis Sensor - Placed between the mattress and sheet, this sensor provides immediate warning on detection of moisture, allowing effective action to be taken. The sensor eliminates the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting dignity and independence.

Epilepsy sensor

Epilepsy Sensor - This state of the art sensor monitors the user's vital signs including heart rate and breathing patterns to detect a range of epileptic seizures. The sensor eliminates the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting independence and dignity.

Fall detector

Fall Detector -  8,000 older people fall every day in the UK. Tunstall's fall detector can provide valuable peace of mind by automatically detecting a serious fall and raising an alert to the monitoring centre or designated carer.

If the user fails to access the medication, an alert is raised to the monitoring centre or designated carer.

Reminder messages - The reminder functionality of the Lifeline Connect+ informs the user about key information, for example a family member can record a message to remind the user to take a their medication at a particular time. If the user hasn’t confirmed receipt of the message, an alert will be raised with the monitoring centre, who can proactively call the user to check everything is alright.

Flood detector

Flood Detector - Provides an early warning of flood situations, such as taps being left on.

Gas shut off valve

Gas Shut Off Valve - When combined with the natural gas detector, this solution automatically cuts off the gas supply to an appliance when a leak is detected.

Zoning button

Zoning Button - Allows users of intruder alarm  functionality to zone the downstairs of their property e.g. at night. This means that users will not need to 'beat' the zoning delay time before the system arms therefore users can take as much time as required to walk up the stairs without needing to panic.
