Patent number: 11806292Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for operating a patient support apparatus are disclosed. The patient support apparatus includes moveable components and actuators to actuate the components. A user interface receives a user input to manipulate the actuatable components and produces an input signal in response to receiving the user input. A behavior controller receives the input signal from the user interface, generates a motion command signal based on the input signal, and transmits the motion command signal. A motion controller receives the motion command signal from the behavior controller and receives feedback signals from one or more of the actuators. The feedback signals are provided solely to the motion controller. The motion controller controls one or more of the actuators to actuate one or more of the actuatable components based on the motion command signal and the feedback signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Anish Paul, Krishna Bhimavarapu, Madhu Sandeep Thota

Patent number: 10905520Abstract: An autonomous accessory support and system for transporting a medical accessory for delivering therapy that is coupled to a patient via a medical line. The autonomous accessory support comprises an accessory post for supporting the medical accessory. A movement module supports the accessory post for moving the accessory post relative to the patient. A tracking module is configured to track movement of the patient or a patient support apparatus relative to the autonomous accessory support and provide a tracking input signal. A controller is in electronic communication with the movement module and the tracking module. The controller controls the movement module to reduce actual patient proximity to a target patient proximity being a distance between the accessory support and the patient or the patient support apparatus sufficient to prevent tensioning of the medical line beyond a tension threshold. The distance may be a selectable preset distance maintained by the controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Annie Désaulniers, William D. Childs, Michael Lau, Connor F. St. John, Krishna Bhimavarapu, Christopher R. Sweeney, Joshua E. Mix

Publication number: 20190192366Abstract: A system and a method for managing patient therapy protocols are disclosed. The system includes a patient support apparatus for supporting a patient, a first input device for use by a first caregiver, a second input device coupled for use by a second caregiver, a location system for determining a location of the first caregiver, and a therapy management system. The therapy management system receives a location of the first caregiver and a selection of a patient therapy protocol, which includes a location requirement. The therapy management system then determines whether the first caregiver location input signal satisfies the location requirement before initiating the selected patient therapy protocol or notifying the second caregiver if the location of the first caregiver does not satisfy the location requirement.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Anuj Sidhu, Alexander Bodurka, Krishna Bhimavarapu
