Hello,

In complicated departments such as Neurosurgical departments for example, some patients have a high likelihood of falling. Sometimes, due to their clinical state, some patients still try to get out of bed by themselves, so the medical stuff elevated the bed railings to prevent them from getting up by themselves. in many cases, the patients still try to climb other the railings and end up falling, which prolongs the recovery duration.

I'm gathering data regarding different methods that are used in hospitals to prevent those types of falls and prevent them before they happened. I'm especially interested in existing solutions that use passive (meaning the patient doesn't need to wear any sensors on himself) alarming system that notifies the medical stuff of such climb attempts in real time, which allow the medical stuff to stop the climbing attempt and prevent the fall in time.

I tried looking for articles regarding patient fall prevention, and also made contact with some hospitals, but wasn't able to find any useful information.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.
