1. A method of predicting an egress condition for a person supported on a person support structure, the method comprising:

  • receiving input signals including;

    an egress motivating condition which corresponds to at least one of time since last toileting, input/output balance, or lack of catheter;

    an egress preparation sequence which corresponds to at least one of patient posture or patient location;

    determining if the input signals mimic an egress profile by assigning a numerical value to each of the input signals and including the numerical values in a summation to obtain a summed value which is compared to a predetermined threshold; and

    generating an alert if the summed value mimics the egress profile, wherein the input signals include information sensed by a pressure map.
