Goal
Remove barriers to communication and control of a standard hospital room for individuals with limited
mobility using off-the-shelf devices
Outline
• Problem Statement• Regulatory Background• Proposed Solution• Preliminary Results• Next Steps
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
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.

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.
New ADAAG DOJ Standards for Accessible Design International Building Code
407.2.1 Call Controls. Where elevator call buttons or keypads are provided, they shall comply with 407.2.1 and 309.4. Call buttons shall be raised or flush.
4.27.4 Operation. Controls and operating mechanisms shall be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. The force required to activate controls shall be no greater than 5 lbf (22.2 N).
ANSI 407.2.1 Call Controls. Where elevator call buttons or keypads are provided, they shall comply with Sections 407.2.1 and 309.4. Call buttons shall be raised or flush. Objects beneath hall call buttons shall protrude 1 inch (25 mm) maximum.
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.
• 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.
Proposed Solution
Test Case with Off-the-Shelf Remote Room Interface
IR
Internet based Messaging software
Individual Hospital Room
Nursing station
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.
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.
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.
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.
