PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A patient support apparatus comprisinga monitoring system includinga first detector detecting electromagnetic radiation from a first field of view of the first detector and providing a signal indicative of characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation,a second detector coupled to the processor, the second detector comprising an infrared detector detecting infrared radiation from at least a portion of the first field of view, the second detector providing a signal indicative of characteristics of the infrared radiation, anda controller including a processor coupled to the first detector and a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to processes the signals from the first and second detectors, translate the each of the signals into an array of data, and evaluate the data in the arrays to determine characteristics of a patient positioned in the first field of view.

Abstract
A patient support apparatus includes a monitoring system having a first detector and a controller. The first detector detects electromagnetic radiation from a first field of view of the first detector and providing a signal indicative of characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation. The controller includes a processor coupled to the first detector and a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to processes the signal from the first detector, translate the signal into an array of data, and evaluate the data in the array to determine characteristics of a patient positioned in the first field of view.
