  1. Smart Hospital Room for Individuals with Limited Mobility Kimberly E. Newman ORISE Fellow Functional Performance and Device Use Laboratory Food and Drug Administration

  2. Acknowledgement • CAPT Karen Siegel (Lab Leader, Functional Performance and Device Use, FDA) • Dr. Michael Blei (Chief of Rehabilitation, Denver Health Medical Center) • Frank Agyei-Ntim and Tonia Osadebe (alumni, University of Denver) • Elisa Hobbs (Discovery Learning Apprentice, CU Boulder)

  3. Goal Remove barriers to communication and control of a standard hospital room for individuals with limited mobility using off-the-shelf devices

  4. Outline • Problem Statement • Regulatory Background • Proposed Solution • Preliminary Results • Next Steps

  5. Problem Statement • Individuals with upper extremity limitation are unable to operate the standard hospital room interface. • Specific health conditions where this system would be beneficial: • Polytrauma • Parkinson’s disease • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) • cervical spinal cord injury

  6. Americans with Disabilities Act • Medical care facilities. Medical care facilities that are subject to this section shall comply with the provisions of the 2010 Standards applicable to medical care facilities, including, but not limited to, sections 223 and 805. • In addition, medical care facilities that do not specialize in the treatment of conditions that affect mobility shall disperse the accessible patient bedrooms required by section 223.2.1 of the 2010 Standards in a manner that is proportionate by type of medical specialty. • http://www.ada.gov/2010ADAstandards_index.htm

  7. Accessible Design • Chapter 4 of the ADA covers how compliance requirements in medical facilities can be implemented. • An equivalent requirement is found in the description of elevator controls in section 407.

  8. Assistive Technology • There are several specialized options available for user interfaces and smart rooms on the Abledata website [www.abledata.com] • One issue with these solutions is they are not widely sold so are very expensive for adoption. • Off-the-shelf solutions are an option to reduce the cost for implementation.

  9. Domain of Interest

  10. Proposed Solution • Replace the pushbutton interface with a tablet computer platform. • Implement alternative user interfaces to select devices in room and communicate with care providers. • Provides access for individuals with upper extremity limitations.

  11. Test Case with Off-the-Shelf Remote Room Interface IR Internet based Messaging software Individual Hospital Room Nursing station

  12. Current Progress • Purchased components for evaluation and initial test case. • Testing room control interface to TV and fan. • Evaluating bluetooth for light control. • Configuring programming platform for facial detection.

  13. Next Steps for System Development • Quantify threshold for remote control link to maintain connectivity with TV and fan. • Develop customized button control for A2DP interface to bluetooth power cord. • Incorporate the ability to press buttons on the smart phone/tablet using a camera controlled mouse interface. • Develop customized communication system with nursing station.

  14. Long Term Plans • Perform pilot evaluation with healthy individuals for preliminary evaluation of solution. • Update user interface based on feedback. • Evaluate system in a hospital environment by individuals with limited mobility.

  15. Summary • Described gap in access for individuals with limited mobility. • Listed relevant components of the American with Disabilities Act • Discussed an approach using off-the-shelf computing platforms to address the problem. • Showed preliminary results and plans for future development.
