Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a positioning and vital signs of a subject are disclosed. A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a monitoring device, LWIR image data from a first imaging component of the monitoring device and NIR image data from a second imaging component of the monitoring device, determining one or more boundaries of the patient support apparatus from the NIR image data, constructing one or more virtual boundaries that correspond to the boundaries of the patient support apparatus, determining a location of the subject with respect to the virtual boundaries from at least one of the LWIR image data and the NIR image data, determining a facial temperature and a heart rate of the subject from the LWIR image data, and determining a respiration rate of the subject from at least one of the LWIR image data and the NIR image data.

Abstract: A charting system is provided for use in a healthcare facility having a network. The charting system includes a microphone to receive voice inputs from a caregiver. A vital sign monitor obtains a vital sign from a patient and displays it. The system includes a communication device having a voice-to-text module that includes a processor coupled to the microphone. The processor operates a voice-to-text algorithm that converts the vital sign into text in response to the caregiver dictating the vital sign into the microphone. The processor initiates transmission of the vital sign to an EMR computer via the network after conversion of the at least one vital sign to text.

Abstract: A monitoring system that includes an infrared detector comprising a field of view that detects temperature data from the field of view and provides a signal indicative of at least a detected temperature of a subject. The system includes a tab comprising a tab temperature that is positioned within the field of view such that the infrared detector detects the tab and emits a signal indicative of a detected temperature of the tab. The system includes a temperature sensor secured to the tab that detects the tab temperature and provides a signal indicative of a reference temperature. A control unit is communicatively coupled to the infrared detector and the temperature sensor and computes a net value between the detected temperature of the subject and the detected temperature of the tab. The control unit calculates a core temperature of the subject by combining the net value with the reference temperature.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input indicative of at least one factor that contributes to the development of pressure ulcers; determining a risk score as a function of the input; comparing the risk score to a previous risk score; and at least one of activating a therapy configured to reduce the magnitude of the factor and notifying a caregiver if the risk score is greater than the previous risk score.

Abstract: A method comprises determining a person's level of risk for developing an adverse condition; selecting a care protocol based on the level of risk; displaying a proposed configuration of a person support structure corresponding to the care protocol for a caregiver to approve; and upon approval by the caregiver, implementing the configuration.

Abstract: An augmented reality system comprises a user interface system, a care facility network, and a medical device. The network is in communication with the user interface system. The medical device is configured to be used with a patient and is in communication with the user interface system. The user interface system receives information from the care facility network and the medical device and displays the information in a user's field of vision.

Abstract: Pathogen and chemical detection systems for use with a patient support apparatus and related methods are disclosed. A fluid or biologic sample from the vicinity of a person supported by a person support apparatus is acquired and transmitted to a pathogen detection sensor. A graphical caregiver interface is supplied output from the pathogen detection sensor and detects the presence of a chemical. The graphical caregiver interface communicates with an electronic medical records database, and alarm and a nurse call system.
