    Abstract: An information system for displaying virtual signage in a medical facility includes a treatment device. A visual identifier is operably coupled to the treatment device. A controller is configured to communicate with a remote device having an image sensor for sensing the visual identifier within a field of detection. The controller is configured to recognize the visual identifier sensed by the remote device, determine device information associated with the visual identifier based on a configuration of the visual identifier, retrieve the device information relating to the treatment device associated with the visual identifier from an information source, and generate a virtual image including the device information configured to be viewed via the remote device.

    Abstract: A patient monitoring system comprises a contactless monitoring unit having a contactless patient monitor and operable to communicate with equipment in a patient room and components of hospital information system. The patient monitoring system implements methods for detecting and optimizing signals from a patient supported on a patient support apparatus. The patient monitoring unit includes a power source and a controller. The contactless patient monitor includes a first detector, an emitter, and a controller. The controller processes signals from the first detector and vary the operation of the emitter to change the environment in the field of the detector such that the signals detected by the first detector are optimized.

    Abstract: An occupant support includes a framework with a frame and an orientation adjustable deck section that is supported by the frame. A lockable gas spring includes a piston assembly coupled to one of the frame and the deck section and a cylinder coupled to the other of the frame and the deck section. The piston assembly includes a piston and a connecting rod. The piston divides the interior of the cylinder into isolated and non-isolated compartments. The non-isolated compartment has an inlet and an outlet. An outflow check valve operates to resist fluid flow out of the non-isolated compartment and to admit ambient fluid into the non-isolated compartment. An inflow check valve operates to resist fluid flow into the non-isolated compartment and to enable fluid flow out of the non-isolated compartment. A turbine receives fluid that flows out of the non-isolated compartment. An electrical generator is coupled to the turbine.

    Abstract: An electronic device for managing notifications for a caregiver associated with multiple healthcare facilities is described. The electronic device connects to an active site associated with a first healthcare facility, connects to a passive site associated with a second healthcare facility, receives the notifications from both the active site and the passive site, and switches the passive site to active upon receipt of an input from the caregiver to access the notifications from the passive site.

    Abstract: A patient immersion sensor includes a radio detection and ranging (RADAR) apparatus to determine a time of flight (TOF) of a RADAR pulse and a reflected signal that is reflected by a patient or by a portion of a patient support surface supporting the patient. The TOF is indicative of an immersion depth or a distance toward bottoming out of a patient supported on the patient support surface, such as a mattress or a pad. The RADAR apparatus emits pulses of very short duration so as to be able to detect objects, such as a patient or a portion of a mattress or pad, at very close distances. The RADAR apparatus may use time-of-flight (TOF) between transmission of the pulse and receipt of a reflected signal to determine a distance toward bottoming out by the patient, thereby to determine if the patient is properly immersed into the patient support surface. Adjustments to inflation or deflation of one or more bladders are made to achieve a desired immersion amount within a tolerance range between upper and lower TOF thresholds.

    Abstract: Various systems, devices, and methods for predicting and identifying root causes of pressure injuries in a clinical environment are described. An example method includes identifying, based on an electronic medical record (EMR) of a patient, that the patient has an injury; receiving, from one or more sensors, sensor data indicating one or more parameters of the patient; determining, based on the sensor data, at least one root cause of the injury; and transmitting, to an external computing device, a report indicating the at least one root cause of the injury.
