Bed fall prevention device and system

A patient protection system, the system comprising:

• a first airtight bladder in fluid communication with an air pump;
• a pressure relief valve in fluid communication with the first airtight bladder;
• an electrical power source electrically connected to the air pump via a remotely controlled switch, the remotely controlled switch being configured to be operable by a remote operator at a location remote from a mattress;
• a processing unit electrically connected to the electrical power source and electrically connected to an electronic display;
• a sensor in electrical communication with the processing unit;
• wherein the sensor is a video camera positioned and configured to provide a view of a person on the mattress, the video camera in electrical communication with the electronic display;
• wherein the first airtight bladder is secured to a mattress foundation on a first side of the mattress;
• wherein the first airtight bladder is positioned between the mattress foundation and the mattress;
• the sensor configured to continuously monitor an input related to the person on the mattress;
• upon the processor receiving a predetermined input from the sensor that relates to the person, the processor sends a signal to the electronic display, the electronic display configured to present information from the video camera and alert the remote operator of the predetermined input from the sensor;
• and
• upon the remote operator activating the remotely controlled switch to activate the air pump electrically connected thereto, the first airtight bladder in fluid communication with the air pump inflates and causes a deformation of the mattress on the first side, the deformation creating a raised barrier along the first side of the mattress, to prevent the person therein from falling off the mattress.
