A BED MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A bed monitoring system comprises a radar system for mounting in a space where one or more beds may be located. The radar signals are used to identify the presence or absence of a bed at a set of one or more predefined bed locations within the space. This enables automatic detection of the presence...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A bed monitoring system comprises a radar system for mounting in a space where one or more beds may be located. The radar signals are used to identify the presence or absence of a bed at a set of one or more predefined bed locations within the space. This enables automatic detection of the presence of beds in predefined bed locations, without needing tags or communications systems. In a refinement of the system the same radar system is able, for an identified present bed, to identify the presence or absence of an occupant in the bed. The system then uses radar to monitor both the presence and occupancy of beds, with a single sensing system.
