  • Patent number: 11484453
    Abstract: A system for automatically assessing orthostatic hypotension for a patient supported on a patient support apparatus. The system receives position data identifying a first position of a patient supported on a patient support apparatus, and after a delay, receives vital signs data of the patient. The system receives position data identifying a second position of the patient supported on the patient support apparatus, and after a delay, receives vital signs data of the patient. The system determines an orthostatic hypotension assessment based on a difference in the vital signs data between the first and second positions. Based on the orthostatic hypotension assessment, the system modifies one or more conditions on the patient support apparatus to mitigate a risk for patient fall.

  • Publication number: 20200411149
    Abstract: A fall reporting system gathers, extracts, and compiles data from multiple electronic sources to generate reports regarding patient falls. Individual patient investigation reports are automatically generated when a device detects a patient fall. Additionally, the system can aggregate data from multiple patients to provide facility investigation reports for a unit, department, or entire healthcare facility. Reports can be customized to filter and visualize falls-related data. The system can be cloud based or part of a local area network. The system accessible via a webportal that provides a single sign-on configuration application.
