A method of automatically detecting a home position of a person lying on a mattress and generating a graphic representation of that person

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for automatically detecting a basic position (41) of a patient (1) lying on a mattress (12) provided with pressure sensors (13). In this case, a print pattern (3) and severity points (59) is detected. A basic position of the patient is determined by means of predetermined rules based on the severity points. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for generating a graphic representation of a lying on a mattress (12) patient (1) based on the print pattern (3). The measured print pattern is compared to database print patterns from a print pattern database (42). A best-match database print pattern (5) is selected and the associated selected skeleton data (46) is displayed on a display device (6).
