Abstract: A headwall unit is mounted a headwall of a hospital room and acts as a communication conduit between a bed (or other patient support apparatus) and a conventional communications outlet built into the headwall of the hospital room. The communications outlet is communicatively coupled to a standard nurse call system and an in-room television. The headwall unit is adapted to wirelessly forward audio signals from a remotely positioned nurse to the bed, and to receive wireless audio signals corresponding to a patient's voice from the bed and to forward the received audio signals to the communications outlet. The headwall unit is further adapted to detect infrared communications from both the bed and a television remote control. Communications from the television remote control are automatically analyzed by the headwall unit to determine the type of television in the room and the correct signals to use for controlling the television.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient wirelessly communicates with one or more tags using one or more RF transceivers. A controller onboard the patient support apparatus determines a position of the tag. The controller also receives an identifier from the tag and uses it to determine if the tag is attached to a patient or a device. If attached to a patient, the controller may allow a caregiver to activate a patient movement monitoring function. The movement monitoring function may monitor whether the patient exits the patient support apparatus, whether the patient has been turned, whether the patient is at risk of developing bed sores, and/or other aspects. If the tag is attached to a device, the controller automatically determines whether to associate the device with the patient support apparatus. The controller may also determine the location of the patient support apparatus from the RF transceivers.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient includes a plurality of pseudo-anchors that are used to determine relative position estimates with respect to an anchor affixed at a known location to a wall of a healthcare facility. From these position estimates and the knowledge of the location of the pseudo-anchors on the body of the patient support apparatus, the position and/or orientation of the patient support apparatus is determined. The pseudo-anchors may also determine the relative location of a mobile medical device with respect to the patient support apparatus. If the medical device is closely positioned to the patient support apparatus, the patient support apparatus associates the medical device with the patient support apparatus and transmits data to a server indicating the association. The medical device may include a location module and a data collection module that transmit information to the patient support apparatus for forwarding to the server.

Abstract: A wireless communication system for exchanging messages between a patient support apparatus and a headwall unit includes a syncing function wherein certain settings that are present in the headwall unit before a communication link is established with the patient support apparatus are synced with values for those settings that come from the patient support apparatus after the communication link is initially established. Similarly, certain settings that are present in the patient support apparatus before the communication link is established are synced with values for those settings that come from the headwall unit after the communication link is initially established. The syncing function thereby ensures that, upon the initial establishment of the communication link, the patient support apparatus settings will match the headwall settings, and vice versa.

Abstract: A stationary communication unit is adapted to be mounted to a headwall of a healthcare facility and forward messages between a patient support apparatus and a nurse call system. The unit includes first and second transceivers. The first transceiver may use two different communication protocols and forward audio signals from a nurse call system to the patient support apparatus (and vice versa) using a first one of the communication protocols, and emit a beacon signal using the second communication protocol. The beacon signal is adapted to be detected by electronic devices positioned in the room. The second transceiver sends a first identifier to the patient support apparatus and the first transceiver sends a second identifier to any electronic devices positioned in the room. The communication unit may also forward sensor readings to the patient support apparatus and/or to a hospital network, either directly or via a mesh network.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient communicates wirelessly with one or more devices and determines the relative position of the device(s) with respect to the patient support apparatus. A control system onboard the patient support apparatus receives identification data from the device(s) and uses the identification data to perform an authentication analysis of the device. Based on the authentication analysis, the control system determines an authorization level for the device and transmits different types of data to the device based on the authorization level. A plurality of locator nodes may be included on the patient support apparatus that are linked together by an embedded network. Synchronization messages are passed between the locator nodes over the embedded network to ensure the locator nodes have synchronized time. The authentication analysis and/or the use of encrypted communications may be based on the identity of the device and/or its location.
