Most Urgent Hospital Need: Smart Bed Technology

KDH needs five smart beds, each valued at $30,000.
UPDATE: To date, our donors have purchased three out of the five smart beds.

Smart hospital beds have a remote monitoring system which keeps track of the patient. These beds contain sensors for body temperature, heartbeat, blood, oxygen and pressure sensors, among others. All of the signals are required and necessary for the doctors and nurses to monitor the health of each patient. This system is located in the hospital beds and transfers all patient signals to the supervisor, especially in those cases which require intense care. This critical information is sent to the central system of the hospital, and enables health supervisors to instantaneously review and monitor patient's vitals. In addition, this system sends alert messages, or signals, to the supervisors in the case of any sudden change in the status of the patient. Since a large amount of a patient's time is spent in their bed, it is imperative for the hospital to be able to monitor their conditions from their bed. In addition, smart bed technology have proved instrumental for healthcare providers to predict, detect and prevent falls from bed.
