  • the central rotational position may or may not be the position in which the patient is laterally parallel with the base frame 16 of hospital bed 10.
  • the rotational position may be set and displayed as, for example, a percentage of the full range of lateral rotation or the lateral rotational angle relative to the patient (or mattress 14) being laterally parallel to the base frame 16.

  • the rotational dwell time may be set and displayed, for example, in units of time such as seconds or minutes:
  • the exemplary rotational display area 72 includes a patient display element 78, numerical indication 80, and dwell time display elements 82, 84, and 86 for the right, central and left rotational positions respectively.
  • the patient display element 78 may be, for example, a graphical representation of a patient viewed axially from the foot end 26 of the hospital bed 10 because the touch screen control system 12 may be located at the foot end 26.
  • the patient display element 78 may also include labeling of the patients right side and left side to indicate the direction of rotation of the patient for the various rotational positions.
  • the patient display element 78 provides visual indication of the amount of selected rotation and the direction of rotation. This aspect of control system 12 is helpful visually confirming the actual rotational displacement that will result from a specific numerical setting. For example, various bed systems use degrees, percent of maximum rotation, or a different basis for setting the rotational displacement. Thus, a numerical setting of for example, 45 may anticipate a rotation of 45 degrees, but may actually be setting 45 percent of the maximum rotation, for example, 18 degrees for a bed with a maximum rotation of 40 degrees.
  • the patient display element 78 also provides a visual indication of the direction of rotation. For example, the exemplary patient display element 78 shown in Fig. 2 graphically represents a patient viewed from the approximate vantage point of a person using the control system 12. Thus the rotation of the patient display element 78 approximately matches the real-world view of the patient direction of rotation and the amount of rotation.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates using the rotation display area 72 of the exemplary display arrangement of the touch screen 40 to set the rotational position of the right rotational position of the patient on the mattress 14.

  • the electrical control system 42 and touch screen 40 are programmed to rotate the patient display element 78 accordingly to the touch and movement of touch on the patient display element 78 portion of the touch screen 40.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates touching with the finger 79 the side of the patient display element 78 labeled as the right hand patient side and dragging the finger 79 downward.
  • Electrical control system 42 rotates the patient display element 78 toward the right hand patient side in response to the dragging of the finger.
  • the electrical control system 42 displays the numerical indication 80 ( Fig. 4 ) of the right rotational position setting, which is also proportional to the rotation of patient display element 78.
  • the central rotational positions and left rotational position can similarly be set by touching the appropriate position label 88 and touching and dragging the patient display element 78 to provide the desired amount of rotation as indicated by the numerical indication 80.
  • a dwell time 83, 85, and 87 may also be associated with and selected for each of the rotational positions.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates touching the right dwell time display element 82 with a finger 79 to set the desired dwell time 83.
  • the exemplary dwell time display element 82, 84, and 86 include a circular dial having an arrow pointing to the desired setting 83, 85, and 87 and labeled along the circumference of the dial in seconds and minutes.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates touching the arrow portion of the right dwell time display element 82 and dragging the finger 79 across the surface of the touch screen 40 to set the right dwell time 83 to 20 minutes.
  • the dwell time 85 and 87 for the central and left positions can be similarly set using the central dwell time display element 84 and the left dwell time display element 86.
  • Alternative graphical elements and arrangements may also be utilized in place of the exemplary dwell time display elements 82, 84, and 86.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates a portion of an exemplary alternative rotational display area 90 that may be substituted for the display area 72.
  • the alternative display area 90 includes a central patient display element 92 for setting and displaying the central rotational position, a right display element 94 for setting and displaying the right rotational position, a left display element 96 for setting and displaying the left rotational patient position, and selectable graphical buttons 98 and 100 for selecting between symmetric and asymmetric rotation.
  • the display element 92 may represent the current rotational position of the patient on the mattress 14, and the right display element 94 and the left display element 96 may represent the rotational position settings for right and left patient rotation respectfully.
  • Fig. 7 is a flow-chart illustrating the software algorithm 200 associated with the controller 44 of the electrical control system 42 for enabling the above-described aspects of the touch screen control system 12 illustrated in Figs. 2-4 .
  • the algorithm 200 begins at step 202.
  • the controller 44 commands display of the graphical elements associated with rotational settings on the touch screen 40, for example the patient display element 78, the numerical rotational indicators 80, and the dwell time display elements 82, 84, and 86.
  • step 206 the controller 44 determines whether one of the display elements 78, 80, 82, 84, and 86 is being touched. If the controller 44 determines a display element is being touched, the algorithm 200 continues at step 208, else the algorithm 200 continues at step 212.
  • the controller 44 adjusts the display element being touched in response to the touching of the touch screen 40. For example, if the controller 44 determines the patient display element 78 is being touched, the element 78 is rotated in accordance with touch of and the movement of touch across the touch screen 40. In addition, the controller 44 changes the numerical indication 80 according to the movement of the patient display element 78. Similarly, if the controller 44 determines one of the dwell time display elements 82, 84, or 86 is being touched, the appropriate display element will be changed and displayed according to the touch of touch screen 40.
  • the controller 44 stores the rotational parameter associated with the display element being touched. More specifically, the left, central, or right rotational position is set and stored, for example in memory (not shown) associated with the electrical control system 42, based on the touching of the patient display element 78 detected by the controller 44, and the right, central, and left rotational dwell time 83, 85, and 87 is set and stored if the controller 44 determines that the dwell time display element 82, 84 or 86 is being touched.
  • step 212 the controller 44 determines whether rotational therapy is selected, for example by determining that the start button 64 has been touched on the menu display area 60 of the touch screen 40. If the controller 44 determines that rotational therapy is selected, the algorithm 200 continues at step 214, else the algorithm 200 returns to step 204.
