MinebeaMitsumi and RICOH Conclude a Joint Business Development Agreement for a Bed Sensor SystemMINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. • May 19th, 2017 • Electronic components & accessories
This bed sensor system provided in the first phase is a high precision monitoring system using sensors that can be retro-fitted onto an existing bed, and enables contactless and non-invasive*1 monitoring of biometric information such as the weight*2, body movement and respiratory status of the person in the bed. It makes possible to “monitor (as a safety measure against falls or toppling over) a person in the nursing/medical care site”, “detect anomalies in respiratory status in the nursing/medical care site” and “reduce a burden of measurement and recording work, such as the body weight measurement.” We are aiming to have the full-scale development in fiscal year 2018.
