Application: Communication tool and uwb-equipped patient devices (Patent ID: US20240172997A1)
The patent filed by Stryker Corp describes a portable tool that can communicate with an ultra-wideband (UWB) equipped patient support apparatus or locator unit. The tool includes a housing, a transceiver for communication with a computer, a first UWB transceiver to communicate with a second UWB transceiver, and a controller. The controller can obtain an identifier from the second UWB transceiver, determine its location onboard the patient support apparatus, and forward this information to the computer for display. Additionally, the tool can measure the distance between the UWB transceivers, assess the quality of UWB signals, retrieve error codes, and even send software updates to the device based on proximity.
Furthermore, the tool can determine whether the second UWB transceiver is onboard the patient support apparatus or locator unit, forward this data to the computer, and enable or disable software updates based on the distance between the UWB transceivers. It can also command the device to install updated software, determine the device's state for installation, and issue notifications if there are discrepancies in measured distances between UWB transceivers. Overall, the tool serves as a versatile and efficient communication device for managing and updating patient support apparatus and locator units within a healthcare facility.
