Integrated Smart Bed



Projects




 

Integrated Smart Bed

The current Integrated Smart Bed™ prototype is a small bed equipped with fiber optic sensors that capture movement and wirelessly transmit information to a terminal. The next generation prototype will demonstrate that the special fiberoptic sensor has the ability to track movements of a patient in bed, track caregiver activities related to that patient, and electronically report the results to a central nurse station. The goal of this research is to improve patient care in the nursing home environment and to automatically document the level of care being provided.
