A portable radiographic apparatus system reduces the number of types of spare rechargeable battery. A first rechargeable battery for operation of a portable radiographic apparatus has the same shape and characteristics as a second rechargeable battery for operation of a portable X-ray source. The first rechargeable battery and the second rechargeable battery are interchangeable. When, in order capture images during a visit to an individual's home or a visit to a nursing facility, the portable radiographic apparatus and the portable X-ray source are taken to the visit destination, spare rechargeable batteries must be taken in case of trouble with the rechargeable batteries. Because the first rechargeable battery and the second rechargeable battery are interchangeable, by bringing either the first rechargeable battery or the second rechargeable battery, trouble can be addressed if it arises. In this way, the number of types of spare rechargeable battery can be reduced.

A system for monitoring the health and safety of recumbent individuals. In some embodiments, the bed monitor system comprises a wired or wireless sensor mat which may be positioned upon a bed mattress and underneath a bedsheet. Multiple RFID tag sensors embedded within the sensor mat can detect physical, bodily, and environmental attributes and transmit this information to a controller box for further processing. Turn regiment, prohibited body positions, imminent fall danger, and bed occupancy may therefore be tracked and updated accordingly. In some embodiments, the system can dynamically generate positional images of a body proximate to the sensor mat in order to identify adverse conditions requiring attention. Incontinence discharges can also be detected by sensors and algorithms which can differentiate urinary from fecal incontinence events. Various embodiments of the system are portable, allowing for a rapid set-up within hospital venues and within other care facilities.

A charting system is provided for use in a healthcare facility having a network. The charting system includes a microphone to receive voice inputs from a caregiver. A vital sign monitor obtains a vital sign from a patient and displays it. The system includes a communication device having a voice-to-text module that includes a processor coupled to the microphone. The processor operates a voice-to-text algorithm that converts the vital sign into text in response to the caregiver dictating the vital sign into the microphone. The processor initiates transmission of the vital sign to an EMR computer via the network after conversion of the at least one vital sign to text.
