PROCÉDÉ POUR LA DÉTECTION AUTOMATIQUE D'UNE POSITION DE BASE D'UNE PERSONNE COUCHÉE SUR UN MATELAS ET PROCÉDÉ POUR GÉNÉRER UNE REPRÉSENTATION GRAPHIQUE
The invention relates to a method for automatically detecting a basic position of a patient lying on a mattress provided with pressure sensors, in which a pressure pattern and points of gravity are detected. A basic position of the patient is determined on the basis of pre-determined rules based on the points of gravity. The invention also relates to a method for producing a graphic representation of a patient lying on a mattress on the basis of the pressure pattern. The measured pressure pattern is compared with database pressure patterns from a pressure pattern database. A database pressure pattern with the greatest resemblance is selected and the associated selected skeleton data are represented on a display device.
