A patient support apparatus includes a frame and a mattress supported by the frame and arranged to support a patient thereon. A sensor is included to detect moisture on the patient and/or the patient support apparatus. The sensor produces signals indicative of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus. One or more alerts are output in response to the signals provided by the sensor to notify a caregiver of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus.

A hospital bed assembly includes a bed frame that may be positioned on a support surface. A mattress lies on the bed frame and a user lies on the mattress. The mattress has an opening extending therethrough and the opening is aligned with the user's buttocks when the user lies on the mattress. A toilet unit is movably coupled to the mattress and the toilet unit receives feces and urine from the user. The toilet unit is fluidly coupled to a sewer thereby facilitating the feces and urine to be flushed into the sewer. Moreover, the toilet unit is aligned with the opening in the mattress. A control unit is coupled to the bed frame and the control unit is electrically coupled to the toilet unit to control operational parameters of the toilet unit.

A moisture management apparatus monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. An embodiment of the moisture management apparatus includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. The sensor event communication system may monitor other types of patient events. Portions of the moisture management apparatus and/or the moisture event communication system may be embodied in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.

An excreta disposal device is provided, which includes a main body formed with a first disposal space opened in a hip direction of a human body to receive excreta discharged from the human body, and has a storage space formed therein. A male module, in which a second disposal space configured to receive urine discharged from the human body, is formed inside, and an opening unit opened to face the human body of the user is formed on one side of the second disposal space. The second disposal space is formed to be capable of inserting at least a part of male genitalia and is provided in the main body. A suction port is provided in the storage space and communicates with at least one of the first disposal space and the second disposal space to discharge excreta to the outside of the main body.
