A collision prevention system for a surgical suite includes a supply unit adjustable along a movement path from an initial position to a subsequent position within the surgical suite. A sensor is operably coupled to the supply unit. The sensor is configured to sense an object proximate to the supply unit. A controller is communicatively coupled with the sensor. The controller monitors the object sensed by the sensor. An alert device is communicatively coupled with the controller. The alert device provides a notification when the object is sensed within the movement path and provides a prevention indicator corresponding to an alternate path.

According to one embodiment, a support system includes a server and a terminal device capable of communicating with the server. The terminal device includes an input circuit configured to receive a first signal which indicates that a user is awake, and a controller coupled to the input circuit and configured to determine to provide support to the user based on the first signal.

A system that monitors various conditions of a plurality of hospital beds located in different rooms of a healthcare facility is provided. Alternatively or additionally, other types of equipment may be monitored by the system. Various configurations of network interface units that are coupleable to or integrated into a hospital bed are also disclosed. The system receives data from the hospital beds and/or other equipment and initiates a communication to a wireless communication device of at least one designated caregiver in response to the received data being indicative of an alarm condition.

The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

A display control device (10) comprises an image acquisition component (11), an orientation estimation component (12), and a controller (13). The image acquisition component (11) acquires an infrared image (G1) sensed by infrared array sensors (21a and 21b) installed in a room. The orientation estimation component (12) estimates the orientation of a care receiver (P1) in a room (30) on the basis of the infrared image (G1) acquired by the image acquisition component (11). The controller (13) controls a display device (22) so that a dummy image (D1), which shows a simplified view of the orientation of the care receiver (P1) estimated by the orientation estimation component (12), is displayed superimposed over the infrared image (G1).

A method of determining information about a device includes the steps of 1) acquiring an image of at least a portion of the device, 2) comparing the information content of the image to the information content of at least one record of a library, and, 3) if the comparison is positive, reporting that the device is in the possible state represented by the library record. A method which depends on calculations based on the acquired image rather than on comparison of the information content of the image to the information content of one or more library records is also disclosed. A system for determining the state of the device is also disclosed.
