For a long time, medical furniture has been very stable in the ward as a "background board", but with the breakthroughs in medical intelligence and medical materials, a new generation of products are constantly being incorporated into the steps of intelligent care.

Data from the World Health Organization in 2024 showed that the popularity of intelligent medical furniture reduced the incidence of bedsores by 37%, the cross-infection rate in ICU by 29%, and the actual application scenarios also showed good results. To a large extent, the essential process is met.

Data flow path:
Patient physiological signal → bed sensor collection → edge node preprocessing → 5G transmission to HIS system → AI platform warning

Clinical value
1. Bedsore prevention:
A 2025 study by the US "Nursing Research" showed that by analyzing the time series data of body pressure distribution, AI can predict the risk of bedsores 6.8 hours in advance (with an accuracy of 92.4%), which is 17 times more efficient than traditional manual inspection.
2. Optimization of nursing process:
According to the daily measurement of the actual machine in the hospital, the smart bed reduces the frequency of nurses' night rounds by 40%, and the detection rate of abnormal events increases by 65%.

Challenges and future directions
1. Data security bottleneck: It is necessary to meet the 2025 version of the "General Technical Specifications for Medical Furniture", and the collected biological data must be encrypted.
2. Cost control: Industrialization based on existing scientific and technological innovation, continuously reducing the cost of finished products and expanding the market.
3. Intercommunication and integration: Link the rest of the intelligent products in the ward during the product upgrade process, and combine to improve nursing efficiency.

The evolution of medical furniture is actually a reconstruction of the "man-machine-environment" relationship. As the concept of "Ambient Intelligence" proposed by the MIT Media Lab, the future ward will achieve "automatic" health monitoring through modular autonomous response. Technology is the basis for achieving this step, and the warm care that is indispensable in nursing needs everyone to be at the end position.
