Smile Care (CEO Choi Jong-cheol) announced that it will participate in the 3th International Medical Equipment & Hospital Equipment Exhibition ‘KIMES 23’ held at COEX, Seoul from March 26 (Thu) to 38 (Sun).
Smile Care, a company specializing in fall prevention, has been supplying various products such as fall detectors, dementia safety detectors, bath chairs, and chair-type scales to more than 450 places nationwide, including nursing hospitals, general hospitals, and tertiary general hospitals.
Smilecare launched a bed fall detection belt for patients with a high risk of falling who need intensive care and will introduce it at this exhibition. The product draws attention as it is developed as a product that guarantees the patient’s autonomy, rather than in the form of restraint or restraint. Since a magnet is built into the belt connection part, the belt can be removed by the patient applying appropriate force. As soon as the belt is released, the built-in RF signal is transmitted directly to the guardian, so the patient’s movement can be grasped in advance, and the person concerned explains that it is effective in preventing falls.
An official from Smile Care said, “In the case of the existing restraints used by general patients or high-risk groups, patients cannot take any action on their own. By using magnets and Velcro as locking devices, the risk of falling can be detected without tying the patient’s body. It was made so that it could be done,” he explained the background of development.
In addition, “I decided to participate in order to promote the integrated nursing care service product and to gain information on other medical device products and time to communicate with various companies through the exhibition.” The detection system is used, and about 90 general hospitals and 400 nursing homes/hospitals, including tertiary hospitals, are working with our products. As fall detection sensors are essential to prevent patients from falling, Smile Care will also develop further as a company specializing in fall prevention.”
