Abstract
A method for monitoring an environment for a patient on a patient support device can include: receiving a temperature reading from a wireless sensor coupled to a body of the patient; comparing the temperature reading to air flowing through an airflow system associated with the patient support device; and modifying the air flowing through the airflow system.
Claims20
A method for monitoring an environment for a patient on a patient support device, the method comprising:
- receiving a temperature reading from a wireless sensor coupled to a body of the patient;
- comparing the temperature reading to air flowing through an airflow system associated with the patient support device;
- and
- modifying the air flowing through the airflow system.
A method for monitoring an environment for a patient on a patient support device, the method comprising:
- positioning multiple wireless sensors on a body of the patient;
- receiving temperature readings from the multiple wireless sensors;
- comparing the temperature readings to air flowing through an airflow system associated with the patient support device;
- and
- modifying the air flowing through the airflow system.
A system for monitoring an environment for a patient on a patient support device, the system comprising:
- multiple wireless sensors configured to be placed on a body of the patient;
- a controller programmed to receive temperature readings from the multiple wireless sensors;
- and
- an airflow system associated with the patient support device, wherein the controller is programmed to modify air flowing through the airflow system based upon a comparison of the temperature readings to the air flowing through the airflow system.
