Voice-controlled Hi-Low beds offer impressive safety features designed to help Australians with mobility issues feel secure, comfortable, and independent. These smart beds can change position or height using just your voice—no need to push buttons or grab remotes.
They’re especially useful in aged care, home care, or hospital settings where comfort and safety are top priorities. One great example is the Voice Control Homecare Hi-Low Bed available at Assistive Tech Hub.
Let’s take a closer look at the safety features that make these beds a smart and secure option.
1. What Are Voice-Controlled Hi-Low Beds?
A Hi-Low bed is an adjustable bed that can raise or lower the head, feet, or entire bed height. This makes it easier for people to get in and out of bed or find a comfortable position for sleeping or resting.
Voice-controlled Hi-Low beds do all this with just a voice command. You can say things like “raise the head” or “lower the bed,” and it responds straight away.

2. Voice-Control Safety Features
Hands-Free Control
You don’t need to reach for a remote or press buttons—just speak! This is helpful if you have limited hand movement or arthritis.
Safety Benefit: Reduces the risk of falls from reaching or awkward movements.
Voice Feedback
These beds often speak back to confirm they understood your command.
Safety Benefit: You know exactly what the bed is doing, which lowers the risk of incorrect adjustments.

3. Automatic Locking Mechanism
Once your bed is in position, it automatically locks into place. This means no accidental movement or shifting while you’re resting.
Safety Benefit: Keeps the bed steady and avoids unwanted motion.

4. Pressure Sensing Technology
Some beds come with pressure sensors that detect if weight is uneven or unsafe before making adjustments.
Safety Benefit: Prevents injuries caused by sudden or unsafe movements—ideal for both users and carers.
See more advanced bed tech at Assistive Tech Hub.
5. Motion-Detection Sensors
These sensors monitor your movement and stop the bed from adjusting when you’re shifting around.
Safety Benefit: Prevents injuries by pausing adjustments when you’re getting in or out of bed.
Learn more about this feature in the Voice Control Homecare Hi-Low Bed.
6. Emergency Stop Feature
If something doesn’t feel right, just say “stop,” and the bed will instantly pause.
Safety Benefit: Gives full control to the user and quickly stops any motion for immediate safety.

Safety Benefit: Prevents accidents caused by unintentional adjustments.

8. Wireless Connectivity and Remote Monitoring

Safety Benefit: Carers can make adjustments without entering the room, which is helpful in emergencies or at night.
