Description

SLMHC.OOIWO PATENTMOBILE WORKSTATIONCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] Any and all applications for which a foreign or domestic priority claim is identified in the Application Data Sheet as filed with the present application are hereby incorporated by reference under 37 CFR 1.57 for all purposes and for all that they contain.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of workstations. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a transportable and multipurpose workstation.BACKGROUND

[0003] A compact workstation furnishes functional working areas for users in need of maximizing floor space in confined environments. This class of workstation is particularly desirable in industries where efficient utilization of limited space is paramount.

[0004] Healthcare providers, such as doctors and nurses, often work long hours with minimal or no time off their feet. As a result, given the long distances medical staff are forced to ambulate, in conjunction with medical staffing shortages, results in staff remaining on their feet for prolonged periods of time. Protracted stretches of time spent on one’s feet can lead to musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue. Furthermore, medical staff experiencing fatigue may also experience diminished cognitive processing, which can result in catastrophic consequences for patients. Moreover, often the only opportunity nurses get to sit down is when carrying out tasks at the main nurse station. However, the nearest workstation is often too far from where the nurse is needed at a given time, and going to the nurse station to sit down would leave patients without a nurse in the nearby vicinity.

[0005] Medical staff are currently unable to alleviate the time spent on their feet due to the impracticalities of placing conventional chairs throughout a medical facility. The inherent lack of space in the medical industry as well as the dangers stray chairs could pose, such as tripping or improper patient use, have made conventional chairs unfeasible as a solution for reducing time medical staff spend on their feet. Moreover, typical practice prohibits placement of conventional chairs within various locations in healthcare facilities such as hallways, even though regulations may not exist banning their use, at least becauseSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT conventional chairs can inhibit healthcare providers from easily accessing patients, particularly in emergencies, and particularly when equipment is being delivered to a patient, such as a stretcher, healthcare machines, a wheelchair, an IV line, etc.SUMMARY

[0099] The mobile workstation 100 can include a display unit 109 which can be connected to an arm 111. In this example, the arm 111 is connected to the left side portion 140E of the base 127. In some implementations, the arm 111 can be connected to other portions of the mobile workstation 100 such as either of the arms 129 or the right side portion 140F of the base 127 such that the display unit 109 would be positioned on the right side of the mobile workstation 100. The display unit 109 can move (e.g., rotate) relative to the arm 111. The arm 111 can move (e.g., rotate) relative to the base 127. In some implementations, the arm 111 can extend and retract in a telescoping manner. Accordingly, a user can adjust the position of the display unit 109. The display unit 109 can be electrically connected with AC outlets 131 and can receive power from the power source 163 via AC outlets 131. In some implementations, the mobile workstation 100 may not include the display unit 109 and / or arm 111.

[0100] The display unit 109 can include an LED screen, an LCD screen, an OLED screen, a QLED screen, a plasma display screen, a quantum dot display screen, or the like. The display unit 109 can display user interfaces. The display unit 109 can be responsive to touch. For example, the display unit 109 can comprise a touchscreen such as a resistive touchscreen, a capacitive touchscreen, an infrared touchscreen, a surface acoustic wave touchscreen, or the like.

[0101] The display unit 109 can display user interfaces, images, video, indicia of physiological data, indicia of real-time data, indicia of historical data, etc. based on data from a hardware processor and / or a remote device, such as a sensor, monitoring hub, server, databaseSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT etc. The display unit 109 can include a communication component, such as a Wi-Fi chip and / or a Bluetooth chip, that can receive data from a remote device for the display unit 109 to render. For example, the communication component can receive user interface data from which the display unit 109 can render user interfaces. As another example, the display unit 109 can display indicia of physiological data received at the communication component.

[0102] The mobile workstation 100 can include a platform 107. In this example, platform 107 is connected to post 119 and post 119 is connected to the base 127. In this example, post 119 is connected to the right side portion 140F of the base 127. In various implementations, post 119 can be connected to other portions of the mobile workstation 100 such as the left side portion 140E of the base 127 such that platform 107 would be positioned on a left side of the mobile workstation 100 to accommodate left-handed users.

[0103] As shown in FIG. ID, the platform 107 has a height (H) which can be measured from the bottom of any of the wheels 125 (which may also be the ground) to any portion of the platform 107, including a top surface, bottom surface, or midpoint between the top and bottom surfaces of the platform 107. The height (H) can be between 29in and 38in, between 34in and 38in, between 29in and 34in, between 29in and 32in, between 3 lin and 34in, between 30in and 33in, between 3 lin and 32in, or any value or range of values therebetween. The height (H) can advantageously correspond to the height of a handrail in a healthcare facility such that the platform 107 would contact the handrail when the platform 107 opens and would be prevented by the handrail from hitting the wall to avoid damaging the wall. The height (H) can be fixed such that the platform 107 may not be adjustable to change the height (H). In some implementations, the height (H) can be adjustable. For example, a user may be able to move the platform 107 higher or lower. The range over which the height can be adjusted can include any of the heights (H) previously mentioned such as between 29in and 38in.

[0104] Platform 107 can move relative to the post 119 and / or seat 101. For example, platform 107 can rotate about the post 119 (as shown in FIGS. 1H-1I for example). In various implementations, the platform 107 can translate relative to the seat 101. For example, the platform 107 can move toward the backrest 103 or away from the backrest 103 with, or without, rotating. The mobile workstation 100 can include a lever, that can be connected to the bottom surface 108 of the platform 107, that can allow the platform 107 to translate or can inhibit the platform 107 from translating. For example, a user can actuate theSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT lever to translate the platform 107. The platform 107 can translate in discrete increments, such as by one inch increments. For example, the platform 107 can automatically lock in place every inch of translation unless a user actuates the lever to allow the platform 107 to move continuously. The platform 107 can translate over a total distance of between 1 inch and 12 inches, 1 inch and 6 inches, between 1 inch and 3 inches, or any value or range of values therebetween. Advantageously, translating and / or rotating the platform 107 can allow users of various sizes to sit comfortable within mobile workstation 100 and depart from sitting in the mobile workstation 100.

[0105] The mobile workstation 100 can include pin 141 which can mechanically inhibit platform 107 from moving relative to the post 119 and / or seat 101 when the pin 141 is engaged. The user can actuate the pin 141 to engage or disengage the pin 141. For example, the user can pull the pin 141 to disengage the pin 141 to allow the platform 107 to move relative to the post 119 and / or seat 101. The user can push the pin 141 to engage the pin to inhibit the platform 107 from moving relative to the post 119 and / or seat 101. The user can lock the platform 107 in one or more positions by engaging the pin 141. In some implementations, the pin 141 can automatically engage to lock the platform 107 in one or more positions. For example, a spring can induce the pin 141 to engage to lock the platform 107 in place. The pin 141 can cause the platform 107 to lock in a closed position such as shown in FIGS. 1G-1H for example. The pin 141 can cause the platform 107 to lock in an open position such as shown in FIG. II for example.

[0106] In some cases, the platform 107 can automatically return to a default position. For example, the post 119 and / or a spring within the post 119 can apply force to the platform 107 to induce the platform to return to the default position. The default position can be a closed position wherein the platform 107 extends from post 119 toward armrest 129B and / or backrest 103 over seat 101 such as shown in FIGS. 1G-1H for example. For example, the platform 107 can be positioned closer to the backrest 103 in a closed position than in the open position. The default position can be an open position wherein the platform 107 extends from post 119 away from backrest 103 such as shown in FIG. II for example. In some cases, the platform 107 may not automatically return to a default position. For example, the platform 107 may not move unless a user moves it. The platform 107 may lock in a default position whether the platform 107 automatically returns to the default position or a user causes theSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT platform 107 to return to the default position. In some cases, the platform 107 may not lock in a default position or any other position. In some cases, the platform 107 may lock in a nondefault position, such as an open position.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 1H, the platform 107 can rotate through angle 01 to a closed position. The angle 01 can be measured with reference to an edge 191 of the seat 101 and / or the front portion 140C of the base 127. The angle Ol can bebetween 0° and 45°, between 0° and 30°, between 10° and 45°, or any value or range of values therebetween. As shown in FIG. II, the platform 107 can rotate through angle 02 to an open position. The angle 02 can be measured with reference to the edge 191 of the seat 101 and / or the front portion 140C of the base 127. The angle 02 can be between 45° and 120°, between 90° and 120°, between 45° and 90°, between 45° and 80°, between 60° and 100°, or any value or range of values therebetween. In some implementations, the angle 02 can be 90° or less than 90° which can advantageously inhibit the platform 107 from contacting people or objects, such as a wall, in the open position, which can mitigate damage the platform 107 might cause to surrounding objects. In some implementations, the angle 02 can be 90° or greater than 90° which can advantageously allow a user to more easily access the mobile workstation 100. The angle 01 may be smaller than the angle 02 or in some cases may be equal. In some implementations, the total angular distance through which platform 107 can rotate (which may be represented by angle 02 plus angle 02) can be between 90° and 180°, between 45° and 90°, between 60° and 130°, between 90° and 130°, between 75° and 100°, or any value or range of values therebetween.

[0108] The platform 107 can include a synthetic material. Platform 107 can include an antimicrobial and / or biocidal material to reduce the spread of infectious disease. Platform 107 can include copper, such as copper oxide which can advantageously weaken bacteria cell walls. Platform 107 can include EOS™. The platform 107 can include thermafoil and / or Corian.

[0109] The mobile workstation 100 can include a holder 115 which is connected to post 119. Holder 115 can move relative to the post 119 and / or platform 107. For example, holder 115 can rotate about the post 119 (as shown in FIGS. 1G-1H for example). Holder 115 can hold a fluid container such as a cup or water bottle.

[0110] The mobile workstation 100 can include a cable 117 which can connect to post 119. For example, cable 117 may be wrapped around post 119. Cable 117 can be formed of metal. Cable 117 can connect to user devices such as a laptop to secure the user devices toSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT the mobile workstation 100. In various implementations, cable 117 can connect to other portions of the mobile workstation 100, such as the base 127, the backrest 103, the seat 101, the arms 129, etc. In some implementations, the mobile workstation 100 may not include the cable 117.[OlH] The wheels 125 can transition between a locked state wherein the wheels 125 are inhibited from rotating to inhibit the mobile workstation 100 from moving and an unlocked state wherein the wheels 125 can rotate to allow the mobile workstation 100 to move. In some implementations, a user can transition the wheels between the locked and unlocked states such as by actuating one or more levers which can be positioned on the wheels 125 and / or on the base 127. In some implementations, moving the platform 107 can cause the wheels 125 to lock or unlock. For example, transitioning the platform 107 to a closed position can cause the wheels 125 to lock and transitioning the platform 107 to an open position can cause the wheels 125 to unlock. In some implementations, moving the footrest 121 can cause the wheels 125 to lock or unlock. For example, deploying the footrest 121 can cause the wheels 125 to lock and retracting the footrest 121 can cause the wheels 125 to unlock.

[0112] The base 127 can be at least partially formed of metal and / or powder coated metal. The base 127 can include fabric overlaid on metal. In some implementations, all exposed surfaces of the base 127 are covered with fabric. In some implementations, the base 127 can include at least some exposed metal surfaces. In some implementations, the base 127 may not include fabric. For example, one or more portions of the base may be metal (e.g., powder coated metal) that is exposed. The base 127 can have rounded edges to avoid injury. For example, edges between any of the portions, such as between left side portion 140E, right side portion 140F, front portion 140C, and / or rear portion 140D can be rounded. The platform 107 can be at least partially formed of metal and / or powder coated metal. The platform 107 can have rounded edges to avoid injury.

[0113] FIGS. 1L-M are perspective views of the mobile workstation 100 with various portions thereof hidden from view. FIG. IL shows a footrest 121 of the mobile workstation 100 in a retracted state. A surface of the footrest 121 can be flush with a surface of the front portion 140C of the base 127 when the footrest 121 is retracted. For example, the footrest 121 can form at least a part of the front portion 140C of the base 127 when the footrest is retracted. FIG. IM shows the footrest 121 in a deployed state. The footrest 121 can includeSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT a handle 123 that can protrude from the footrest 121 and / or the front portion 140C of the base 127. A user can grasp the handle 123 to deploy or retract the footrest 121.

[0114] The front portion 140C of the base 127 can include a receptacle 155 which can receive the footrest 121, for example when the footrest 121 is in a non-deploy ed state. The footrest 121 can extend from the receptacle 155 when the footrest 121 is deployed. The footrest 121 can retract into the receptacle 155 when the footrest 121 is retracted. The footrest 121 can be at least partially positioned within the receptacle 155 when the footrest 121 is not deployed.

[0115] The mobile workstation 100 includes spring 149 that is connected to footrest 121. Spring 149 can apply a force to the footrest 121 to cause the footrest 121 to retract from the deployed state within the receptacle 155. In some implementations, spring 149 automatically causes the footrest 121 to retract within receptacle 155 unless a user is applying a force to the footrest 121 (e.g., with their feet). In some implementations, the footrest 121 locks into the deployed state such that spring 149 alone cannot cause the footrest 121 to retract into the receptacle 155 without another force, such as user, acting on the footrest 121.

[0116] The mobile workstation 100 includes barrier 153 positioned within base 127 at, or proximate to, the front portion 140C. Barrier 153 separates the compartment 159 from the receptacle 155 and / or the footrest 121, as shown also in FIG. 1R, for example. Barrier 153 at least partially encloses compartment 159. Thus, barrier 153 advantageously inhibits access to the compartment 159 via the front portion 140C of the base 127, such as via the receptacle 155. For example, when the footrest 121 is deployed, as shown in FIG. IM or FIG. 1R, for example, the compartment 159 is still enclosed by barrier 153. In this example, barrier 153 is physically separate from the footrest 121 and does not move with the footrest 121. In some implementations, barrier 153 is connected to footrest 121 and moves with footrest 121. In some implementations, the mobile workstation 100 does not include barrier 153 and a user can access the compartment 159 through the front portion 140C of the base 127, such as when the footrest 121 is deployed, for example as shown and / or described in FIG. IX.

[0117] The mobile workstation 100 includes massager 151 which in this example is connected to footrest 121. The massager 151 can include one or more structures (such as curves, balls, edges, etc.) that can provide a varied surface on the footrest 121 such that a surface on which a user places their feet on the footrest 121 is non planar. A user can move their feet over massager 151 which can advantageously increase blood flow in the user’s feet.SLMHC.OOIWO PATENTThe massager 151 can be positioned within receptacle 155 (e.g., adjacent to barrier 153) when the footrest 121 is retracted, as shown in FIG. IL for example. The massager 151 may not move relative to the footrest 121. For example, the massager 151 may not rotate relative to the footrest 121 which can provide increased resistance to the user’s feet for increased pressure and blood flow stimulation. In some implementations, the massager 151 can move relative the footrest 121, including rotation. The length of the massager 151 can be between 3in and 9in, between 3in and 8in, between 3in and 7in, between 3in and 6in, between 3in and 5in, between 3in and 4in, between 4in and 5in, between 4in and 6in, between 4in and 7in, between 4in and 8in, between 5in and 6in, or any value or range of values therebetween. The massager 151 and / or footrest 121 can include a synthetic material. The massager 151 and / or footrest 121 can include an antimicrobial and / or biocidal material to reduce the spread of infectious disease. The massager 151 and / or footrest 121 can include copper, such as copper oxide which can advantageously weaken bacteria cell walls. The massager 151 and / or footrest 121 can include EOSCU. The footrest 121 may comprise metal. For example, a surface of the footrest 121 on which a user places their feet and / or a portion of the footrest 121 that supports the massager 151 may be metal.

[0118] The mobile workstation 100 can include one or more magnets 171 positioned within base 127, such as within, or proximate to, the receptacle 155. Footrest 121 can include a magnetic portion 173 which can include one or more ferromagnetic materials. When the footrest 121 is retracted, the magnetic portion 173 can be positioned adjacent to, and / or in contact with, the magnet 171. The magnetic 171 can exert a magnetic force on the magnetic portion 173 to retain the footrest 121 within the receptacle 155 in the retracted state and / or to inhibit footrest 121 from deploying from receptacle 155. The magnet 171 can be a push-to-open magnetic latch which can cause the footrest 121 to deploy from the receptacle 155 (or at least initiate deployment such as by releasing the magnetic attraction between the magnet 171 and the magnetic portion 172) response to a user pushing the footrest 121.

[0119] In this example, the footrest 121 is not connected to the seat 101. The footrest 121 can rotate about joint 175 which is positioned at the bottom of the footrest 121 and / or the base 127. Accordingly, the footrest 121 may open downward when deployed from the receptacle 155 and can close upward when retracted into the receptacle 155. In various implementations, the footrest 121 may not move relative to the base 127. For example, theSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT footrest 121 may be rigidly connected to the base 127 and thus may not retract. In various implementations, the base 127 may not include the receptacle 155. For example, the footrest 121 may protrude directly from the base 127 without the receptacle 155, for example if the footrest 121 is rigidly connected to the base 127 and does not retract into a closed position.

[0120] FIG. IN is a side view of the mobile workstation 100 showing the footrest 121 in a deployed state. A user can put their feet on footrest 121. In some cases, the user may apply force (“F”) to the footrest 121 such as by standing on the footrest 121. In this example, the force (Fl) is shown as being applied at the end of the footrest 121 corresponding to the furthest distance DI at which force could be applied from the front wheels 125A-125B. However, the force (Fl) could be applied at any portion of footrest 121. The force (Fl) can create torque about the front wheels 125A-125B, which can act as an axis of rotation. For example, the mobile workstation 100 can rotate about the front wheels 125A-125B if sufficient force (Fl) is applied to the footrest 121.

[0121] The mobile workstation 100 includes weight 139. In this example the weight 139 is connected to the base 127 (e.g., the bottom portion 140B of the base 127). In various implementations, the weight 139 (or other weights) can be connected to other portions of the mobile workstation 100 such as the backrest 103, the rear portion 140D of the base 127, the platform 107, etc. The weight 139 has a center of mass through which the force F2 acts. The weight 139 and / or the center of mass of the weight 139 can be positioned between the front wheels 125A-125B and the rear wheels 125C-125D. The weight 139 and / or the center of mass of the weight 139 can be positioned closer to the rear wheels 125C-125D than to the front wheels 125A-125B.

[0122] In this example, the center of mass is shown as being positioned a distance D2 from the front wheels 125A-125B. The weight 139 applies downward force (F2) on the mobile workstation 100 at the center of mass of the weight 139 creating torque about the front wheels 125A-125B. The distance D2 may be greater than the distance DI thus causing the weight 139 to create greater torque about the front wheels 125A-125B than the force (Fl), assuming the force (Fl) and the force (F2) are the same. Thus, weight 139 can inhibit the mobile workstation 100 from tilting such as rotating about the front wheels 125A-125B such as if the user were to stand on the footrest 121. Thus, the weight 139 can reduce the risk of the mobile workstation 100 and / or the user from tipping over which could harm the user. TheSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT weight 139 can be between l OOlbs and 2501bs, between 2001bs and 3OOlbs, between 2001bs and 2501bs, between lOOlbs and 2001bs, between lOOlbs and 15Olbs, between 15Olbs and 2001bs, between 1251bs and 1751bs, between 1401bs and 1601bs, or any value or range of values therebetween. Advantageously, a shorter footrest 121 reduces the distances dl which reduces the torque applied from footrest 121 which also reduces the amount of the weight 139 needed to counterbalance torque from the footrest 121.

[0123] The mobile workstation 100 includes door 145. In this example, door 145 is positioned on the rear portion 140F of the base 127. In various implementations, the door 145 is positioned elsewhere on the mobile workstation 100 such as on left side portion 140E, the right side portion 140F, or the front portion 140C of the base 127. Door 145 includes door handle 157 and lock 143. A user can open and close the door 145. In this example, the door 145 opens downward by rotating about a bottom portion of the door 145. In various implementations, the door 145 can open upward, to the left side, or to the right side. In some implementations, the door 145 can slide open. A user can lock the door 145 closed with the lock 143 and can unlock the door 145 to open it with the lock 143. In some implementations, the mobile workstation 100 includes a plurality of doors that provide a plurality of access points to the compartment 159.

[0124] The mobile workstation 100 includes compartment 159 positioned within base 127 under seat 101. The door 145 can enclose the compartment 159 to inhibit access to the compartment 159 when the door 145 is closed. The door 145 can open to provide access to the compartment 159. Thus, the compartment 159 can be exposed or concealed with the door 145. In various implementations, the mobile workstation 100 may not include door 145. For example, the compartment 159 may be permanently accessible through one or more portions of the base 127 without a door to enclose the compartment 159 and / or to inhibit access thereto. In various implementations, the compartment 159 may be accessible through a plurality of access points through base 127, such as through rear portion 140D, left side portion 140E, and / or right side portion 140F. In various implementations, the base 127 may not include one or more of rear portion 140D, left side portion 140E, right side portion 140F, bottom portion MOB, and / or front portion 140C such that the base 127 is not enclosed on one or more sides and / or such that base 127 does not include a compartment or at least a permanently enclosed compartment.SLMHC.OOIWO PATENT

[0125] FIGS. 10- IQ show the mobile workstation 100 with the door 145 open and the compartment 159 exposed. The mobile workstation 100 can include one or more power sources 163 which in this case are positioned within compartment 159. The power source 163 can include one or more batteries and / or one or more capacitors. The mobile workstation 100 can include electronics 165 which in this case are positioned within compartment 159. The electronics 165 can include one or more hardware processors, one or more communication components, and / or one or more storage components such as volatile or nonvolatile memory. The electronics 165 may be a computing device and / or computer system. The electronics 165 can include one or more structural and / or operational features shown and / or described in FIG. 2. The compartment 159 can also house one or more ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D. The ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can emit ultraviolet C radiation, such as one or more wavelengths between lOOnm and 280nm. Radiation from ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can inhibit the spread of infectious disease by killing bacteria within compartment 159. For example, radiation from ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can kill bacteria on any items a user stores within compartment 159, such as personal items.

[0126] In this example, the mobile workstation 100 includes four ultraviolet lamps. In various implementations, the mobile workstation 100 can include five ultraviolet lamps, six ultraviolet lamps, or more than six ultraviolet lamps. For example, the mobile workstation 100 can include another ultraviolet lamp on the floor of the compartment 159 and / or can include another ultraviolet lamp on the door 145 facing in toward the compartment 159 when the door 145 is closed. In some implementations, the mobile workstation 100 includes less than four ultraviolet lamps, such as three, two, or one ultraviolet lamp. The ultraviolet lamps 161 A- 161 D can be electrically connected with the power source 163, the electronics 165, and / or the actuator 147. The power source 163 can provide power to the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D. The electronics 165 can control the ultraviolet lamps 161 A- 161 D such as turning them on or off.

[0127] The actuator 147 can control the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D. A user can actuate the actuator 147 to cause the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D to turn on or off. In this example, the actuator 147 is a switch. In various implementation, the actuator 147 is a button, lever, slider, etc. The actuator is positioned on the right side portion 140F of the base 127 and can be accessed by a user sitting in the seat 101. In various implementations, the actuator 147SLMHC.OOIWO PATENT is positioned elsewhere on the mobile workstation 100 such as on the left side portion 140E of the base 127. In some implementations, opening the door 145 can automatically cause the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D to turn off and / or can inhibit the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D from turning on (e.g., even if the user actuates the actuator 147 to try to turn them on). Keeping the ultraviolet lamps 161 A-161D off while the door 145 is open can inhibit the user from being exposed to harmful radiation.

[0128] The ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can automatically turn on responsive to the door 145 being closed. The ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can remain on for threshold length of time and then can automatically turn off responsive to a timer exceeding the threshold length of time. In some cases, the ultraviolet lamps 161A-161D can turn off before the threshold length of time if a user actuates the actuator 147.

[0129] FIG. 1R is a perspective cutaway view of the mobile workstation 100. As shown, the mobile workstation 100 includes at least the ultraviolet lamp 161C positioned on a side of the compartment 159 and at least the ultraviolet lamp 16 IB positioned on a top of the compartment 159. The power source 163 can electrically connect with, and disconnect from, the electronics 165 such as via one or more wires. The power source 163 can provide power to the electronics 165. The power source 163 can electrically connect with the power ports 130, such as via one or more wires 167. The power source 163 can receive power to be charged from the power ports 130 via the one or more wires 167, such as power inlet 137. The power source 163 can provide power to the power ports 130, such as AC outlets 131, USB outlets 133, and / or USB-C outlet 135 via the one or more wires 167. For example, power source 163 can provide power to devices (such as display unit 109 or a user computing device such as a phone or laptop) that are connected to power ports 130. The power source 163 can be disconnected from the wires 167, power ports 130, and / or electronics 165 and can be removed from the compartment 159 and can be replaced with another power source that can be connected with the wires 167, power ports 130, and / or electronics 165.

[0130] FIG. IS is a side cutaway view of the mobile workstation 100. The one or more wires 167 can extend from the compartment 159 through the base 127 (e.g., the left side portion 140E) and can electrically connect with the power ports 130. In this example, the magnet 171 is positioned within compartment 159. The magnet 171 can lock the footrest 121 in the retracted position within the receptacle 155 with magnetic force attracting the magneticSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT portion 173. The magnet 171 can be a push-to-open magnetic latch comprising spring configured to exert force responsive to input force. A user can decouple the footrest 121 from the magnet 171 to initiate deploying the footrest 121 from the receptacle 155 by pushing on the footrest 121 (to apply force to the magnet 171) causing the spring in the magnet to respond with force pushing the footrest 121 away from the magnet 171.

[0131] The footrest 121 can rotate about joint 175 which can be positioned at the bottom of the base 127 and / or footrest 121. Accordingly, the footrest 121 can swing downward to deploy from the receptacle 155 and swing upward to retract into the receptacle 155. The footrest 121 can have a length (L) between lOin and 20in, between lOin and 16in, between lOin and 14in, between 12in and 16in, between 13in and 15in, between 4in and 24in, between 4in and 18in, between 4in and 12in, between 4in and lOin, between 4in and 8in, between 5in and 7in, between 6in and lOin, or any value or range of values therebetween. In some implementations, the length (L) of the footrest 121 spans the distance from the joint 175 to the seat 101.

[0132] FIG. IT is a bottom view of the platform 107 of the mobile workstation 100. The platform 107 includes a bottom surface 108. The pin 141 is connected to the bottom surface 108 of the platform 107. For example, the pin 141 can be mounted to the bottom surface 108 via screws, a bracket, etc. The mobile workstation 100 includes plate 120 which is connected to post 119. In some implementations, plate 120 can form a portion of post 119. The plate 120 includes recess 142. The pin 141 can engage with plate 120 to inhibit platform 107 from moving relative to post 119. The pin 141 can disengage from plate 120 to allow platform 107 to move relative to post 119. For example, a user can push pin 141 within recess 142 to engage pin 141 with plate 120 to lock the platform 107 in place. The platform 107 can be locked in a default position which may be a closed position. The user can pull pin 141 out of recess 142 to disengage pin 141 from plate 120 to unlock the platform 107 to allow the platform 107 to move relative to the post 119. In some implementations, the pin 141 can automatically move within the recess 142 to engage with the plate 120 to lock the platform 107 in place. In some implementations, plate 120 can include a plurality of recesses to allow the pin 141 to engage the plate 120 in a plurality of locations to lock the platform 107 in a plurality of positions. Advantageoulsy, a self-closing platform 107 can inhibit non-authorized users from sitting in, occupying, or using the mobile workstation 100. For example, the platform 107 canSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT automatically return to a default closed position and an individual may not be able to rotate the platform 107 to an open position to be able to sit on the seat 101 unless the individual is authorized and knows how the actuate the pin 141 to allow the platform 107 to rotate open so that the user can access the seat 101.

[0133] In various implementations, the mobile workstation 100 can include a weight connected to the bottom surface 108 of the platform 107. For example, the weight 139 can be connected to the bottom surface 108 of the platform 107 and / or to the base 127. Advantageously, connecting a weight to the platform 107 can provide stability and inhibit tipping and can also provide additional structural support to the platform 107 to inhibit the platform 107 from breaking under force, for example if a user sits on the platform 107 or places heavy objects on the platform 107.

In some implementations, the power cord 181 is fixedly connected to the base 127. In some implementations, the power cord 181 can extend from the base and retract into the base 127. For example, a user may pull the power cord 181 out from the base and the power cord 181 can extend (e.g., lengthen) with respect to the base 127 and when released, the power cord 181 can automatically retract into the base 127. Accordingly, in some cases, only a portion of the power cord 181, such as the head with plugs, may protrude from the base 127 (with the rest being coiled within the base) until a user pulls the power cord 181 to cause the power cord 181 to unwind and extend from the base 127.

Actuating the lever 183 can cause one or more of the wheels 125 to lock or unlock. For example, a user can step on the lever 183 to press the lever 183 down to lock the wheels 125 to inhibit the wheels 125 from rotating to inhibit the mobile workstation 100 from moving. The user can lift the lever 183 up with their foot or hand to unlock the wheels 125 to allow the wheels 125 to rotate to allow the mobile workstation 100 to move. Advantageously, a user can lock more than wheel 125 at a time by actuating lever 183.SLMHC.OOIWO PATENT

In this example, the post 119 includes an inner shaft 136 positioned within an outer shaft 134 (shown in broken line to illustrate the visibility of inner shaft 136 within outer shaft 134). The inner shaft 136 can move (e.g., rotate, translate) relative to the outer shaft 134. The platform 107 is connected to the inner shaft 136 and thus can also move relative to the outer shaft 134. The post 119 includes bearings 132 positioned within the outer shaft 134. The bearings 132 may be positioned between the inner shaft 136 and the outer shaft 134. The bearings 132 can allow the inner shaft 136 to move relative to the outer shaft 134. The plunger 138 is connected with outer shaft 134 and can engage with inner shaft 136 to inhibit the inner shaft from moving relative to the outer shaft 134 to lock the platform 107 in place.

The light 209 can be electrically connected to, and can receive power from, the power source 207, either via direct electrical connection with the power source 207 and / or via the power port(s) 213.

[0152] The display unit 211 can display user interfaces. The display unit 211 can include an LED screen, an LCD screen, an OLED screen, a QLED screen, a plasma display screen, a quantum dot display screen, or the like. The display unit 211 can be responsive to touch. For example, the display unit 211 can comprise a touchscreen such as a resistive touchscreen, a capacitive touchscreen, an infrared touchscreen, a surface acoustic wave touchscreen, or the like. The display unit 211 can display user interfaces based on data from the hardware processor(s) 201, communication component 203, and / or storage 205.

For example, the hardware processor(s) 201 can retrieve subscription information stored in the storage 205 and / or can access subscription information received by communication component 203, such as received from a remote device such as a remote server. The hardware processor(s) 201 can determine a user’s subscription level based on the accessed subscription information. The subscription level can govern the operations that the mobile workstation 200 can provide for the user. For example, the data processed by hardware processor(s) 201 (such as physiological data), the data received by communication component 203 (such as physiological data and / or video data), and / or the user interfaces generated by display unit 211 can vary depending on the user’s subscription.

In various implementations, the subscription can correspond to software available to the mobile workstation 200, such as healthcare software. For example, the hardware processor(s) 201 can have access to different software programs under different subscriptions that allow the hardware processor(s) 201 to perform different operations. The data that the hardware processor(s) 201 can access can be based on a subscription level. For example, data can be accessible by the hardware processor(s) 201 based when the data was collected, the sensor from which the data originated, a person or patient associated with theSLMHC.OOIWO PATENT data, etc. Tn some cases, the length of time that the storage 205 retains data depends on a subscription level.

[0154] The power port(s) 213 can include power outlets and / or power inlets. The power port(s) 213 can include an AC outlet, a USB outlet, and / or a USB-C outlet.

The ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 can be electrically connected to, and can receive power from, the power source 207, either via direct electrical connection with the power source 207 and / or via the power port(s) 213.

[0156] The ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 can turn on or off responsive to user input via the actuator 217 which may be electrically connected with the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215. The ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 can turn on or off under control of the one or more hardware processor(s) 201 which may be in electrical communication with the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215. For example, the one or more hardware processor(s) 201 can cause the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 to turn on or off based on time and / or responsive to one or more signals from the door sensor 219. Thus, the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 can turn on or off automatically under control of the one or more hardware processor(s) 201 and / or can turn on or off responsive to user input.

The actuator 217 can be in electrical communication with the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201. For example, the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201 can read the state of the actuator 217 (e.g., an electrical output pin). In some implementations, the actuator 217 can communicate data to the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201. In some implementations, the hardware processor(s) 201 can control the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 based on actuation of the actuator 217. In some implementations, the actuator 217 can directly control the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215.

[0158] The door sensor 219 can sense the state of a door of the mobile workstation 200 (e.g., whether open or closed). The door sensor 219 can include one or more of a resistor, a capacitor, optical sensor, pressure sensor, piezoresistive sensor, piezoelectric sensor, inductive sensor, or the like. The door sensor 219 can include an output pin that can be driven to a high voltage or low voltage responsive to user input (via mechanical and / or electrical input). In some implementations, the door sensor 219 can generate data indicative of a state of a door of the mobile workstation 200. The door sensor 219 can be in electrical communication with the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201. For example, the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201 can read the state of the door sensor 219 (e.g., an electrical output pin). In some implementations, the door sensor 219 can communicate data to the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 and / or the hardware processor(s) 201.

[0159] The hardware processor(s) 201 can control the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 based on data originating from the door sensor 219 which can correspond to the state of the door (e.g., open or closed). For example, the hardware processor(s) 201 can turn the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 off responsive to determining, from data originating from the door sensor 219, that the door is open. In some implementations, the hardware processor(s) 201 can inhibit the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 from turning on responsive to determining, from data originating from the door sensor 219, that the door is open. For example, when the door is open, the hardware processor(s) 201 can inhibit the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 from turning on even if the user actuates the actuator 217 to turn the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 on. Advantageously, keeping the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 off while the door is open can inhibit a user from being exposed to ultraviolet radiation which can cause biological damage and create health risks.SLMHC.OOIWO PATENT

[0160] The hardware processor(s) 201 can turn the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 on responsive to determining, from data originating from the door sensor 219, that the door is closed. In some implementations, the hardware processor(s) 201 can allow the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 to turn on responsive to other conditions (e.g., timers, user input, etc.) responsive to determining, from data originating from the door sensor 219, that the door is closed. For example, when the door is closed, the hardware processor(s) 201 can allow the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 to turn on responsive to user input via the actuator 217.

[0161] The hardware processor(s) 201 can turn the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 off responsive to determining that a timer has exceeded a threshold. The hardware processor(s) 201 can initiate the timer responsive to determining that the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 have turned on, responsive to determining that the door has closed, and / or responsive to determining that user has actuated the actuator 217. The threshold can be between 1 minute and 10 minutes, between 2 minutes and 9 minutes, between 3 minutes and 9 minutes, between 3 minutes and 8 minutes, between 3 minutes and 7 minutes, between 4 minutes and 6 minutes, between 4 minutes and 5 minutes, between 5 minutes and 6 minutes, or any value or range of values therebetween. Thus, the hardware processor(s) 201 can automatically turn off the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 after they have been on for longer than a threshold amount of time. In some implementations, a user can cause the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 to turn off with the actuator 217 at any time, such as before the timer has exceeded the threshold. In some implementations, a user can cause the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 to turn on with the actuator 217, such as after the timer has exceeded the threshold and the ultraviolet lamp(s) 215 have been turned off.

[0162] The mobile workstation 200 can include one or more massagers 221 and a massagers motor 223. The massagers 221 can be positioned in a backrest, in a seat, in a footrest, etc. of the mobile workstation 200.
