Bed Sensor

A pressure sensor placed between the mattress and the person to sense when the person is getting on or off the bed. It will assist the elderly in two ways:

• Elevating the bed at an angle that will help the elderly climb down the bed comfortably by providing back support (could also be something to grip while getting off)
  
• It will act as a trigger for the light system.
  
• The bed will not elevate if the user is simply moving in bed or sleeping on their stomach. The pressure sensor will work intuitively to identify the pressure points when the elderly person is trying to get up.
