Abstract:
A patient monitoring and repositioning system includes a mattress, a sheet residing on an upper surface of the mattress, a housing containing a drive mechanism, and a sensor adapted to sense a position of a patient resting on the mattress. The drive mechanism is operable to pull the sheet and thereby pull the patient resting thereon. The housing receives the sheet through a slot. In the event that the patient is in an undesirable position on the mattress as detected by the sensor, a controller directs the drive mechanism to pull the sheet so as to pull the patient thereon from the undesirable position to a desirable, predetermined position. The controller may direct the drive mechanism automatically or indicate the undesirable position to a caregiver so that the caregiver may direct the drive mechanism accordingly.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of monitoring and repositioning a sheet that is located on a mattress, the mattress having a head end and a foot end and being supported by a bed frame, comprising:\n causing the sheet and a patient supported thereon to move toward the head end of the mattress, whereby the causing further includes pulling the sheet into a slot formed in a housing located adjacent the head end of the mattress, the sheet being retained along opposing longitudinal sides of the mattress; prior to the causing, sensing a position of the patient and determining that the sensed position of the patient differs from a predetermined position on the mattress; and after the causing, determining that the patient is in the predetermined position.
