181 Patient Support Apparatus With Redundant Identity Verification US13796697 2013-03-12 US20130253291A1 2013-09-26 Steven A. Dixon; David L. Ribble; Todd P. O'Neal; Christopher K. Lack; James M. Allen; Thomas F. Heil
A patient support apparatus includes one or more readers and/or sensing devices to receive data that can be use to verify the identity of persons or objects, such as patients, caregivers, and medications. The sensing devices may include, for example, a biometric sensor, a physiological sensor, a bar code reader, a camera, a microphone, or a combination thereof. The patient support apparatus may use identity verification information obtained from these devices for a number of different purposes, including, for example, managing the delivery of therapy, medication, or treatment to a patient associated with the patient support apparatus.
182 SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR MONITORING OF ASSEMBLY CONFIGURATIONS AND CONDITIONS US13785462 2013-03-05 US20130239330A1 2013-09-19 Douglas J. Newlin
An assembly monitoring system includes a receiver, an assembly, and a processor. The assembly includes at least one trackable component including a transmitter configured to deliver component identifying data to the receiver. The processor is in electronic communication with the receiver and stores authorized assembly configuration data associated with at least one authorized component. The processor is configured to receive the component identifying data from the receiver and to compare the component identifying data with the authorized assembly configuration data. The processor is further configured to generate a first improper assembly signal when the component identifying data does not correspond to at least a portion of the authorized assembly configuration data.

A patient support apparatus system includes sensors adapted to sense a gesture of a person, or forces exerted by the person on the patient support apparatus, and to control the movement of a component of the patient support apparatus based on the gesture or forces. The movement of the patient support apparatus matches the direction of the person's gesture or applied forces. The speed of the gesture and magnitude of the applied force also influence the movement of the patient support apparatus component. The controlled movement may be the upward and downward motion of a patient support deck on the patient support apparatus, or it may be the pivoting of a section of the patient support deck, or it may be other movement. Control of the patient support apparatus is carried out based on the intent of the user, as evidenced by the user's gesture or applied forces.
184 Patient Support Apparatus With In-Room Device Communication US13570934 2012-08-09 US20130091631A1 2013-04-18 Michael Joseph Hayes; Aaron Douglas Furman; Joshua Elmer Mix; Richard Derenne; John P. Geer
A patient support system includes a patient support apparatus—which may be a bed or the like—and one or more mobile electronic tags that are positionable in the room and which communicate wirelessly with the patient support apparatus. The electronic tags are attached to one or more of a patient, a medical device, or a caregiver. After detecting the tag(s), the patient support apparatus implements one or more patient care protocols, and provides alerts if the protocols are violated. The implementation may be automatic or require caregiver confirmation. The protocols can be for fall prevention, bed sore prevention, pneumonia prevention, caregiver hand washing, dialysis, and/or other purposes. The patient support apparatus determines the protocol(s) based on one or more of the following: the type of medical device, the specific patient, the presence or absence of the caregiver, and/or information transmitted to, or input into, the patient support apparatus.
185 PATIENT ROOM AND BED MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND SYSTEM US12711912 2010-02-24 US20110208541A1 2011-08-25 Bradley T. Wilson; Whitney W. Pesot; Katherine J. Vigneron; Michelle E. McCleerey; Christian Saucier
A patient room and bed management apparatus and system detects changes in a patient's status and updates the status of a room of a healthcare facility associated with the patient. The system may receive the patient status information from a remote system, such as a health information system used by a healthcare facility. The patient room and bed management system may determine one or more actions to be performed by a bed in the patient's room. The system may determine one or more actions to be performed by a caregiver or other staff person of the healthcare facility. The actions to be performed by the bed or staff person may be triggered by a change in status of the patient, the patient's bed, or the patient's room. The actions to be performed may be electronically communicated to the bed, to one or more remote displays, and/or to communication devices associated with staff persons of the healthcare facility.The patient room and bed management apparatus and system may include a user interface module that is not mounted to the patient's bed. A list of actions to be performed by a staff person in the patient's room, the status of the patient, the status of the patient's room, and/or the status of the patient's bed, may be displayed and updated electronically at the user interface module. The user interface module may also provide bed controls that allow a staff person to initiate an electronically-controlled function of the bed from the user interface module.
186 APPARATUS FOR DIGITAL SIGNAGE ALERTS PCT/US2015017607 2015-02-25 WO2015130852A3 2016-01-14 DAVIS STEPHEN RHETT
An apparatus for displaying icons and warnings about healthcare conditions for a patient through a display screen. The screen may be a touchscreen to facilitate authorized healthcare user interaction. The display screen is located in proximity to a patient or the patient's room. The display screen provides a public display mode displaying icons and warnings symbol related to one or more conditions for the patient, but without displaying information that may violate the patient's privacy. The display screen further provides an authorized display mode accessible only by authorized users, such as healthcare workers. Authorized users may thereby gain access to more specific information identifying the one or more conditions, and complete a checklist of healthcare procedures and protocols related to said conditions. Information about authorized user access and checklist completion may be stored to document compliance.
187 METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ARTICULATING COTS PCT/US2015024192 2015-04-03 WO2015153936A3 2015-12-23 BOURGRAF JOSEPH G; MAGILL BRIAN MICHAEL
A power ambulance cot (10) having a cot control system operably connected to a cot actuation system (34) to control independent raising and lowering of front (20) and back legs (40) thereof, and which detects a presence of a signal requesting a change in elevation of a support frame (12) thereof and causes the cot actuation system to raising or the lowering of the front and/or back legs automatically upon detecting a condition during loading/unloading a patient from an emergency vehicle or transporting the patient up or down an escalator and methods thereafter are disclosed.
188 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING AND PROVIDING THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT FOR A USER PCT/US2012047387 2012-07-19 WO2013016132A3 2013-07-25 JACOFSKY MARC C; JACOFSKY DAVID J
A method for monitoring pressure at one or more points on an individual, and automatically adjusting one or more sections of a support structure. The method includes periodically receiving pressure data from one or more radio frequency addressable sensors placed on an individual; determining, based on the received pressure data, whether an adjustment in the support structure is required; systematically adjusting cells located within the plurality of zones, one zone at a time, until an improvement in pressure data is indicated, if an improvement in pressure data is indicated for a zone, systematically adjusting cells within the plurality of subzones for that zone, one subzone at a time, until an improvement in pressure data is indicated. if an improvement in pressure data is indicated for a subzone, systematically adjusting cells in that subzone, one cell at a time, until an improvement in pressure data is indicated.
