Embodiment Construction

[0024] Figure 1 shows a system 1 for a typical mobile hospital bed 2 according to the invention. The bed 2 includes a base 3 and a movable patient support 4 . A patient cushion (not shown) is located on the upper side 5 of the patient support 4 . The base 3 includes a guide wheel frame 6 with four guide wheels 7 , and also includes four bedposts 8 extending upward from the guide wheel frame 6 for supporting the patient support 4 . The upper end of each bedpost 8 has the same sensor unit 9 . In other words, the sensor unit 9 via which the patient support 4 is connected to the upper ends of the four bedposts 8 is an integral part of the base 3 . Depending on the height of the patient and the relative positions of the various regions 11 of the patient support 4, the bed 2 can be configured by means of hydraulic means (not shown).

[0025] The sensor unit 9 is movably connected to the base 3 with the patient support 4 . This means that the patient support 4 can be moved downwa...

Abstract

In order to provide a simple and reliable monitoring technique for a number of different parameters of a patient in a bed (2), a system (1) is provided, said system (1) comprising: at least one first sensor device (25) adapted to measure a first force component acting in a first direction (12), said first force component corresponding to a first parameter of the patient, at least one second sensor device (36) adapted to measure a second force component acting in a second direction (13, 14), said second force component corresponding to a second parameter of the patient, and a data device (16) adapted to acquire the measured data from the at least one first sensor device (25) and the at least one second sensor device (36) and to process those data in order to provide information about the number of parameters of the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for monitoring a number of different parameters of a patient in a bed. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method of operating the system and a computer program running on a computer. Background technique [0002] Monitoring patients during their sleep is standard practice in various settings, mainly in hospital settings. Depending on the diagnosis, different parameters need to be monitored. During sleep, parameters that often need to be monitored include body weight, heart rate, respiratory rate and breathing abnormalities, and specific exercise patterns. A considerable technical effort and different technical means are required to measure these quantities. [0003] Different techniques for obtaining information about cardiorespiratory performance are known in the prior art, such as the use of pressure sensitive sheets in bed. Other technologies provide a solution to measuring patient weight by in...
