Abstract
A person-support apparatus operates according to a set of default operating parameters, processes information corresponding to an occupant of the person-support apparatus from a receiver to determine if an optimal value for an operating parameter is different from the default value, modifies a default operating parameter to an optimal value based on the information corresponding to the occupant of the person-support apparatus to create a modified operating parameter, and operates the person-support apparatus utilizing the modified operating parameter.

A person-support apparatus comprising a control system including, a processor, a receiver coupled to the processor, the receiver configured to receive information corresponding to an occupant of the person-support apparatus, and a memory device coupled to the processor, the memory device including default values for a plurality of operating parameters of the person-support apparatus and including instructions, that, when executed by the processor cause the processor to, (i) operate the person-support apparatus utilizing the default values, (ii) process information corresponding to an occupant of the person-support apparatus from the receiver to determine if an optimal value for an operating parameter is different from the default value, (iii) if a change in an operating parameter is indicated, modify the operating parameter, and (iv) operate the person-support apparatus utilizing the modified operating parameter.
A method of operating a person-support apparatus, the method comprising the steps of
- operating the person-support apparatus according to a set of default operating parameters,
- processing information corresponding to an occupant of the person-support apparatus from the receiver to determine if an optimal value for an operating parameter is different from the default value,
- modifying a default operating parameter to an optimal value based on the information corresponding to the occupant of the person-support apparatus to create a modified operating parameter, and
- operating the person-support apparatus utilizing the modified operating parameter.
