Bide is a bedside device designed to support older adults and those at risk of falls to live safely and independently at home. Falls, especially at night, are a major concern for many people and their families. Bide offers a simple solution to try to reduce this risk, providing reassurance to those close to them and instilling confidence in those who want to continue living independently.

Through the use of discreet sensors, Bide detects that the user has woken up. Bide then automatically plays encouraging supportive pre-recorded voice messages from a loved one or carer. This small and simple action is often enough to support users to get out of bed more safely, improve confidence, and to help to reduce the risk of nighttime falls. In addition, Bide provides a dimmed backlight to help with visibility when the person is moving around at night.

Dr Tom Adler, inventor of Bide says:

“During my 30 years as a GP I saw the devastating effects of accidental falls on my patients and their families. When the same thing happened with my own Mum, I knew I wanted to make a difference, and to try to prevent some of these falls. I am proud that Bide now has the potential to reduce falls and to alleviate stress for both the user and their loved ones/carers.”

Bide allows family members and other caregivers to pre-record personal messages, ensuring that their loved one hears a familiar and reassuring voice when they wake up at night. This can be particularly beneficial for those in the early stages of dementia or for those who are cognitively impaired, as a familiar voice can provide comfort and clarity in moments of disorientation. By offering reassurance in these crucial moments, Bide helps to prevent hasty or uncertain movements that can lead to falls. The device can store up to five different voice messages. These messages can be customised to suit the individual's needs, whether it's a simple reminder to "take your time" or a loving message offering encouragement.

Bide seamlessly integrates into the user's routine. The device automatically activates when it gets dark and remains in standby mode until it detects movement (after at least 10 minutes of inactivity). This "hands-free operation" means there is no need for manual adjustments - Bide is always ready to provide support when it is needed most. By combining innovative technology with a familiar voice, Bide can help to transform the bedroom into a safer space.
