Abstract

Manually adjusting hospital beds presents significant challenges for healthcare professionals, which affects their workflow and patient care outcomes. Manual bed modifications consume a significant amount of time, resulting in nurses being less available for other crucial duties. Patient needs can be delayed, and the quality of care delivered overall can be lowered. Manually adjusting the bed to ensure safety and comfort is a risky practice that could result in incorrect placement that can worsen pre-existing medical issues or cause discomfort and pressure sores. In addition, the demand for accurate and frequent bed changes during the day increases the strain on nurses, especially in situations with high patient turnover or complex care needs. The objective of this study is to create a hospital bed that responds to voice commands to improve patient care and monitoring. The bed's voice recognition technology allows patients to adjust their positions and improve comfort and accessibility, particularly for individuals with mobility issues. It includes sensors that continuously measure the patient's heart rate and temperature while they are in bed. These sensors provide real-time data, enabling prompt detection of any irregularities and facilitating immediate intervention in the patient's heartbeat and temperature. The combination of voice control and continuous health monitoring ensures a higher standard of patient care, improves patient autonomy, and reduces the workload on medical staff. The aim of this innovative bed is to create a healthcare environment that is more responsive and efficient, which ultimately leads to better patient outcomes and enhanced overall hospital efficiency.
