Abstract: A computer support station includes a tray having a work surface, with the tray adapted for mounting to a footboard of a hospital bed and being vertically and/or horizontally adjustable. The station further includes a computer and a display in communication with the computer. A keyboard is supported on the work surface and in communication with the computer.

Abstract: A asset tracking system includes a camera adapted to capture images and output signals representative of the images. The camera may include one or more depth sensors that detect distances between the depth sensor and objects positioned within the field of view of the one or more cameras. A computer device processes the image signals and or depth signals from cameras and determines any one or more of the following: (a) whether a patient care protocol has been properly followed; (b) what condition a patient is in; (c) whether an infection control protocol has been properly followed; and (d) whether steps have been taken to reduce the risk of a patient from falling. Alerts may be issued if any conditions of importance are detected.

Abstract: A garment for medical emergency services (EMS) workers is provided with one or more features useful to emergency personnel. The garment may include an eyewear pocket at or near the neck of the garment and/or a pocket on the front panel of the shirt that is sized or configured to hold a card, such as an insurance card, while allowing a portion of the card to remain visible. Additional features which may be present alone or in combination with the other disclosed features include a fastener that is off-set from the shoulder seem of the garment and/or a sleeve pocket that is sized to accommodate medical gloves. The various pockets may include a material coating or lining that may increase or decrease the frictional forces between the interior of the pocket and the item retained there in order to assist in the retention of the item or assist in the removal of the item as desired.

Abstract: A transport apparatus includes a frame, a lift mechanism supporting the frame, and a litter deck for supporting a person. The litter deck is adapted to be reconfigured between a chair configuration and a cot configuration. The litter deck is also adapted to be removably mounted to the frame, with the litter deck being adapted to be supported by the frame while the litter deck is in its chair configuration and also while being reconfigured between its chair configuration and its cot configuration.

Abstract: A patient support includes a base, a deck for supporting a patient, and a lift mechanism supporting the deck on the base and configured to adjust the orientation of the deck while allowing the head and foot sections of the deck to be articulated with respect to the seat section of the deck.

Abstract: A transport apparatus includes a base, a sling, a support frame mounted to the base. The support frame extends over the base and is configured to move from a first position spaced above the base at a first height wherein the support frame may be extended over and proximate a support surface for engaging the sling when placed on the support surface to a second position spaced above a second height greater than the first height once engaged with the sling wherein when the support frame and the sling are raised to the second position the sling is raised above the support surface so that a person supported on the sling may be lifted off the support surface with the sling and moved away from the support surface by the base. Further, the sling may be rotatably mounted to the support frame to facilitate reorientation of the person.

Abstract: A transport apparatus includes a movable base, a sling, and a support frame mounted to the base. The frame extends over the base and is configured to move from a position spaced above the base at a first height wherein the frame may be extended over and proximate a support surface for engaging the sling when placed on the surface to another position spaced at a height greater than the first height after engagement with the sling. The sling is adapted to be engaged by the frame, which provides lateral support to the sling, wherein when the frame and sling are raised to the greater height the sling is raised above the surface so that a person supported on the sling may be lifted off the surface with the sling and the frame and supported in a stabilized sitting position so that the person can moved away from the surface.

Abstract: A patient turner for positioning on a mattress includes a base layer and a turning bladder layer, with the turning bladder layer being configured for positioning either immediately under the patient or under a non-supporting layer, which is immediately under the patient, and with the base layer supporting the turning bladder above the mattress.
