Hospitals face massive challenges in continuously monitoring patients to prevent critical risks like falls and pressure injuries. Teams must design and showcase an IoT-enabled smart hospital bed capable of tracking:Patient Status: Presence/absence, real-time movement, and bed-exit attempts.Health Metrics: Body temperature, heart rate, and SpO2 levels.Bed Environment: Pressure distribution, bed angle, and integrated nurse-call events.
