Abstract:
A patient support system includes a patient support apparatus operable to collect biometric and/or physiological data of a patient located on the patient support apparatus, using one or more sensors that are coupled to the patient or coupled to a component of the patient support apparatus. The system can use the biometric and/or physiological data to verify the identity of a patient that is associated with the patient support apparatus or a patient room. Based on the patient verification, the system can update patient electronic medical records to include the biometric and/or physiological data, and/or perform other tasks.
