An intelligent hospital device for health caring assistance of patients with motor disabilities

In this document we present an intelligence device which includes a monitor system for automatic movements of a robotic hospital bed based on posture classification and identification. This functionality has been developed in response to the requirements defined by the application of a diagnostic methodology [10]. Our diagnostic methodology applied on a Mexican public hospital allowed us to understand that the problem of mobility in elderly people and disabled people involves solutions like devices that attend these individuals to achieve movement without many complications. The movement of these patients can be performed routinely or sporadically during their stay in hospital. For patients who require certain routine application of this movement is designed an intelligent monitor system. This intelligent system allows medical experts to program the movements of the robotic bed considering the patient’s posture and time. We will show a methodology for bodies classification in real time. Our work considers the problem of human posture classification with few information (sensors), applying digital process to expand the original data of the sensors and so get more significant data for the classification, however, this is done with low-cost algorithms to ensure the real-time execution.
