In the healthcare industry, presence sensors play a critical role in creating intelligent, responsive, and energy-efficient environments. Hospitals, clinics, and elderly care facilities require continuous monitoring, comfort, and hygiene — and presence sensors deliver all three seamlessly through automated detection and control.

Using advanced sensing technologies like PIR (Passive Infrared), Microwave, Ultrasonic, and FMCW Radar, presence sensors can detect even the slightest human movement or presence — crucial in spaces such as ICUs, patient wards, washrooms, and operation theatres.

They are primarily used for lighting automation and HVAC control, ensuring that energy-consuming systems operate only when rooms are occupied. This not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces maintenance and operating costs — critical for large healthcare campuses that run 24/7.

Beyond energy management, presence sensors contribute to patient safety and hygiene. In elderly care units or isolation wards, sensors can alert staff if a patient is immobile for an unusual period or has left their bed. In washrooms, touch-free lighting reduces surface contact, lowering the risk of infection spread.

In essence, presence sensors make healthcare spaces more intelligent, safe, sustainable, and patient-centric, enabling better care with fewer manual interventions.
