摘要:
A system for determining the location of a patient on a support. The system includes a first and second sensor coupled to a patient's support surface and being at least laterally spaced. A first load signal from the first sensor has a first sensitivity greater than a second sensitivity of a second load signal from the second sensor. A determination circuit receives a first and second load signals and provides an indication of the location of the patient on the support surface from a comparison of the sum of the load signals to a selected value.
摘要:
A method for assessing the status of a piezoelectric sensor of interest is disclosed. The sensor of interest is located adjacent a surface of a mattress supporting a person. In some instances, the sensor of interest may be coupled to a mattress or coupled to a bed frame that supports the mattress. The method involves analyzing the complex impedance of the excited sensor relative to a complex impedance profile. A system for implementing the method is also disclosed.
摘要:
Methods, systems and apparatus for initiating actions in a healthcare environment are disclosed. Illustrative embodiments receive identification data from tags assigned to healthcare resources via local positioning sensors. The illustrative embodiments also determine proximity of the healthcare resources based upon the identification data received via local positioning sensors. The embodiments also determine that an event has occurred in response to the proximity of the healthcare resources satisfying a relational condition of the event that relates the healthcare resources, and the healthcare resources satisfying a status condition of the event. The embodiments further initiate an action associated with the event in response to determining that the event has occurred.

摘要:
Optical isolation device (10) optically couples and electrically isolates various components on a local source circuit (36) from components on a remote isolated circuit (30). Light source (12) is coupled to opto-electrical detector (16) and opto-electrical sensor (20) is coupled to optical signal generator (18) by optical channel (14). The opto-electrical detector (16) is electrically coupled to remote isolated circuit (30) which is powered by the electricity generated by opto-electrical detector (16) in response to being impinged upon by light (22). Remote isolated circuit (30) is also electrically coupled to optical signal generator (18) which generates optical signals (32) in response to electrical signals received from remote isolated circuit (30). Opto-electrical sensor (20) produces electrical signals in response to being impinged upon by optical signals (32). Thus, remote isolated circuit (30) is completely electrically isolated from, but in communication with and powered by, local source circuit (36).
