Abstract

A bed system includes: an imaging device; a bed on which the imaging device is to be installed; and a controller configured to process an image acquired by the imaging device to predict a possibility of overturning of a user, in which, when it is determined that a state of the user is a first state, the controller predicts the possibility of overturning of the user based on a first parameter, when it is determined that the state of the user is a second state, the controller predicts the possibility of overturning of the user based on a second parameter, the first state is a state of the user different from the second state, and the first parameter is different from the second parameter.

Dependent claims

A bed system comprising:

a first bed including a first imaging device attached to the first bed;
a second bed including a second imaging device attached to the second bed;
and
a controller configured to:
detect a motion of a first patient, predict a location which the first patient using the first bed would reach based on the motion of the first patient, specify the second imaging device which is capable of capturing an image of the location, and activate the second imaging device if the controller determines that the first imaging device is not capable of monitoring the first patient based on the location of the first patient and the second imaging device is capable of monitoring the first patient.
