1. At a computer system, a method for responding to a support platform exiting event, the method comprising:

  • accessing data from sensors that are monitoring a patient resting on a support platform, the support platform being a specified height above floor level;

    determining whether the accessed data correlates with a threshold probability that the patient is attempting to exit the patient support platform; and

    lowering the height of the support platform from the specified height to a lower height to reduce the potential fall distance of the patient in response to determining that the accessed data correlates with the threshold probability that the patient is attempting to exit the support platform.
