There is disclosed a mobility aid device including a seat arrangement upon which a user sits when the mobility device aid is in operation, a main unit that supports the seat arrangement, and a wheel arrangement that supports the main unit on a floor surface. The mobility aid device is driven in operation from a motor arrangement included in at least one of the main unit and the wheel arrangement, wherein the mobility device aid is propelled forwards or backwards and turned by the motor arrangement. The wheel arrangement includes two wheels mounted at lateral sides of main unit, wherein the two wheels are mutually independently driven in operation by the motor arrangement. The mobility aid device is self-balancing using the two wheels by employing a control module that controls an electrical signal applied to the motor arrangement, and the wheels are contained within an area that is less than 120% of a seating area of the seat arrangement.

A patient support system with chest compression system and harness assembly with sensor system. The harness assembly secures shoulders and hips of the patient on a patient support surface during transport. A chest compression system is integrated into the harness assembly in a manner that provides chest compressions to the patient while the patient is secured on the patient support surface. The tension of the harness assembly is selectively adjusted and/or a fluid bladder may be selectively expanded. A controller is in communication with the chest compression system and controls operation of the chest compression system. The sensor system is integrated into the harness assembly and in communication with the controller. The chest compression system may be removable from the harness assembly via an adapter. The chest compression system may be integrated into the patient support apparatus to secure the patient to the patient support surface while providing chest compressions.

A base module is for a mobile medical system, designed to cover distances autonomously or semi-autonomously. The base module includes a chassis having a plurality of rolling bodies. The rolling bodies are mounted to rotate about axes of rotation and, via adjusting devices, are adjustable in the vertical direction such that each respective rolling body is movable between a first position, in which the respective rolling body is in contact with a floor area, and a second position, in which the respective rolling body is spaced apart from the floor area. A medical system includes a base module of an embodiment. A method for operation of the medical system is also disclosed.

A lift device and method of operation thereof including two vertical extendible tower members supporting a horizontal extendible transverse member, a payload lifting device and a traveler carriage configured to translate the payload between the two vertical extendible tower members along the horizontal extendible transverse member, an omnidirectional wheel assembly, a navigation control system configured to provide navigation control to the lift device via the omnidirectional wheel assembly based on a navigation path, one of a proximity sensing system and a machine vision system configured to determine one of a presence of an obstacle or an absence of a previously detected obstacle relative to the navigation path, and a motion control system configured to provide a smooth motion control signal and a retract or expand signal to the respective members of the lift device.

A method and system for patient monitoring, the system comprising a surveillance camera configured to generate a plurality of frames showing an area in which a patient in a bed is being monitored, and a computer system comprising memory and logic circuitry configured to determine bed rails positions of the bed, identify a position of the patient, and generate signals that control the bed rails of a bed based on the bed rails positions and the position of the patient.

An incontinence detection system monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. The system has a pad that 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. Portions of the system are included in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.

A user control device for a transporter. The user control device can communicate with the transporter via electrical interface(s) that can facilitate communication and data processing among the user interface device and controllers that can control the movement of the transporter. The user control device can perform automated actions based on the environment in which the transporter operates and the user's desired movement of the transporter. External applications can enable monitoring and control of the transporter.

Provided is a robot including a main body having a traveling wheel and a traveling motor for rotating the traveling wheel, a seating body disposed above the main body, a left projector disposed at a left side of the main body to scan a beam toward a left lower direction, a right projector disposed at a right side of the main body to scan a beam toward a right lower direction, and a processor for controlling the traveling motor, the left projector, and the right projector.

A toilet comprising a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat also supported by the frame; a shroud for covering the frame; at least one lift mechanism supported by the frame for adjusting the position of the bowl or seat; at least one sensor for capturing at least one property of a user; and a processor adapted to analyze the at least one property to determine a characteristic of the user is disclosed.

The disclosure relates to a medical imaging supply transport cart having enhanced safety features and a process implementing the same. The medical imaging supply transport cart includes a support surface configured to support medical imaging supplies, the support surface further configured to support a support mechanism, and the support mechanism further configured to support the medical imaging supplies. The support mechanism further configured to rigidly hold the medical imaging supplies with a first holding mechanism, the medical imaging supplies configured to store at least one dose of a nuclear medicine, a plurality of wheels arranged below the support surface, at least one door configured to enclose the medical imaging supplies, and a handle configured to be grasped by a user to guide the medical imaging supply transport cart.
