More Information
Summary:A patient support apparatus may include a frame and a patient support surface positioned on the frame. A plurality of force sensors may be coupled to at least one of the frame and the patient support surface. Each of the plurality of force sensors may be configured to detect a force applied to the respective force sensor. A user interface may include a display and at least one user input. A controller may be in communication with each of the plurality of force sensors. The controller may include a processor and a memory device. The memory device may include instructions that, when executed by the processor, process data signals from the plurality of force sensors to determine a mobility score of a patient supported on the patient support surface.
