Patent number: 11147719Abstract: An incontinence detection system monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. The system has a pad that includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. Portions of the system are included in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Gavin M.

Patent number: 10881328Abstract: Systems and methods for determining and tracking a positioning of a subject and displaying an image of a model of a subject are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of thermal markers, one or more thermal imaging devices arranged to capture baseline and updated infrared images of the surface and the thermal markers, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the thermal imaging devices. A first thermal marker is arranged at a first location relative to the surface. The computing device receives the baseline and updated infrared images and determines a corrective movement for at least one of the subject and the surface to align the thermal markers in the updated infrared image with the thermal markers in the baseline infrared image based on a location of the thermal markers in the baseline infrared image and a location of the thermal markers in the updated infrared image.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2016Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Yongji Fu, Benjamin E. Howell, Jeffrey C. Marrion, Todd P. O'Neal, Joshua A. Williams
