Haptic healthcare patient garment

A haptic healthcare patient garment, comprising:

• a cloth configured to enclose an upper human body;
• a plurality of heaters retained by the cloth;
• an audio alerting device;
• a radio transceiver retained by the cloth;
• a plurality of sensors retained by the cloth;
• a plurality of garment color transducers retained by the cloth;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the heaters, to the audio alerting device, to the radio transceiver, and to the sensors;
• a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• an application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor:
• receives vital signs indications from the sensors,
• transmits indications of vital signs via the radio transceiver to a monitoring device,
• receives a command via the radio transceiver to increase heat to a patient wearing the haptic healthcare patient garment,
• in response to receiving the command to increase heat to the patient, commands at least one of the heaters to deliver increased heat,
• monitors a position of the patient's body,
• determining that the position of the patient's body is adverse to healing,
• based on determining the adverse position of the patient's body, causes the audio alerting device to sound,
• transmits values of the vital signs via the radio transceiver to an electronic device used by a healthcare worker to monitor the patient, wherein the electronic device assesses a healing progress of the patient with respect to a physical injury located on the patient's body,
• receives a message from the electronic device, wherein the message indicates the healing progress of the patient and identifies a location of the healing proximate to the physical injury located on the patient's body, and
• commands a garment color transducer of the plurality of garment color transducers to assume a color indicating the healing progress, where the garment color transducer is located proximate to the location of the physical injury located on the patient's body as identified by the received message.
