Problem

The alert system in hospital beds gives often gives off false alarms for when a patient is trying to get out of the bed.

Task

An alert system that is attachable to a bed is needed to notify those taking care of the patient that the patient is trying to get out of bed. The solution needs to be out of the way of the patient and the patient should not be able to manipulate it.
