Toby is 30 years old and has Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. He lives with his personal assistant, Greg, in a fully adapted bungalow. Lately his seizures have been getting worse at night and Greg is concerned that he will not hear Toby if he needs help. As Toby is mobile (with his rollator) he often falls when he has seizures and Greg would like to know straight away if this should happen.
MP5 Seizure Monitor
Product Solutions:
They bought a MP5 Nocturnal Convulsion Seizure Monitor (M08388 – see page 399) to use in bed at night. They have turned down the microphone on this to give Toby some privacy but adjusted the sensitivity on the movement detector so that it alerts Greg (via the pager) when a seizure is detected.
Toby also purchased a Care Call Fall Detector, a Pager Unit and Charger (M08820, M08807, M00819 – see page 382). This automatically detects a fall and sends an alert to the pager which Greg can carry around the bungalow with him.
Toby also bought a Cadex DatabankWatch (M66285 – see page 397). He has stored his entire emergency medical and contact details on this just in case he should be out and have a seizure or fall. The paramedics would be able to deal with him in an appropriate way and contact his carers – Toby also likes the fact that the Cadex looks (and can be used like) a standard watch.
The Result:
Both Greg and Toby are pleased that they can have a good nights sleep knowing that Greg will be alerted if Toby should have a seizure, this has given them both peace of mind.
The Fall Detector has already been used – Greg was in the kitchen when Toby fell in the bathroomand was able to attend to himstraight away due to the alert he received.
