Brief summary
DETECT'CHUTE CLINIBED is a smart carpet equipped with several sensors. Positioned at the foot of the bed, this system allows detecting i) patient fall out of the bed and ii) when patient is not back to bed after a certain time. When one of these two events is detected, the system then sends a short message syteme (SMS) and/or an email to the medical staff. The aim of this clinical study is to test the system ability to detect and transmit alarms for both those events. In this clinical trial, the investigators will therefore test the alarms positive and negative predictive values for both the events.
Interventions
DEVICEDETECT'CHUTE CLINIBED
The DETECT'CHUTE carpets will be positioned at night at the foot of the bed and set in motion by the nursing staff as soon as the elderly person goes to bed for the night. They will be withdrawn the next morning after the resident's rise. Each patient will benefit from the mat for 1 month.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the positive predictive value of alerts | During 30 days | Evaluation of the positive predictive value of alerts issued by the system. In the event of an alert, caregivers will immediately move to the resident's room to see if the alert has signaled a real fall or no return. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the negative predictive value of alerts | During 30 days | Measure the negative predictive value of fall and fall alerts. |
| Time limit of the intervention of nurse | During 30 days | After each alarm reception (fall or return) the intervention time will be estimated. Regular rounds made by caregivers at the usual rhythm, and will see the appearance of a fall not signaled by the carpet. |
