US 12,582,484 B2 · Automatic patient positioning for medical equipment

Abstract

Disclosed is a method and a system for automatic positioning of a medical equipment with respect to a patient. The method includes obtaining sensor data related to the patient, from a plurality of sensors fixed relative to the medical equipment. The method further includes processing the sensor data to determine at least one pose characteristic of the patient and at least one shape characteristic of the patient. The method further includes determining at least one adjustment parameter for the medical equipment based on the at least one pose characteristic of the patient and the at least one shape characteristic of the patient. The method further includes adjusting the medical equipment based on the at least one adjustment parameter.
