Publication number: 20230206744Abstract: A method for detecting an exit of a patient from a hospital bed, the method comprising: detecting a presence of the patient on the bed, upon detection of the patient on the bed, monitoring an indication that the patient has moved from a predetermined patient area on a patient receiving surface of the bed to outside the predetermined patient area, upon detection that the patient has moved outside the predetermined patient area, activating a bed alarm to indicate to a user that an exit of the patient from the hospital bed has been detected, and after monitoring the indication that the patient has moved from the predetermined patient area and further upon receiving a pause command, suspending monitoring the indication that the patient has moved from the predetermined patient area. There is also provided a system for detecting an exit of a patient from a hospital bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Esther BERTHELOT, Steve BOLDUC, Etienne ST-PIERRE, David MORENO, Gabriel MERCIER

Patent number: 11450193Abstract: A hospital bed height limiting system comprising a processing unit operatively connected to each of a user interface, an elevation mechanism of the hospital bed and a height sensor. The processing unit is operable to receive a minimum height via the user interface and receive from the height sensor a current elevation mechanism height. The processing unit is operable to determine the bed height based on the current elevation mechanism height, and in response to the bed height being equal to the minimum height, the processing unit is operable to cause the elevation mechanism to stop a downward movement of the elevation mechanism. A hospital bed comprising the hospital bed height limiting system is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Steve Bolduc, Etienne St-Pierre, David Moreno, Gabriel Mercier, Esther Berthelot
