Abstract: A moisture detection system for use on a hospital bed includes a person support surface comprising a core layer and a ticking layer. The ticking layer has an inner surface facing the core layer and an outer surface. In one embodiment the moisture detection system also includes a moisture detection sheet which has at least one moisture sensor connected thereto. The sheet is configured to be mounted to at least one of A) the core layer, B) external to the outer surface and C) between the ticking layer and the core layer. A controller is in communication with the moisture detection sensor, and with at least one pre-existing pressure sensor. In another embodiment the moisture detection system includes a detection sheet comprising a fabric which is configured to sense moisture, pressure or both. A controller is in communication with the detection sheet.

Abstract: A patient-support apparatus includes a deck, a headrail, and an entertainment system. The deck has a head end, a foot end spaced from the head end, a first side extending from the head end to the foot end, and a second side spaced from the first side and extending from the head end to the foot end. The headrail is coupled to the deck and extends along the first side of the deck near the head end of the deck. The entertainment system includes a user input and a projection device coupled to the headrail.
