Hospitals are ridden with all types of disease. While the staff work hard to keep everything as sanitary as they can, it is simply impossible to keep every infection appropriately contained.

The input of medical history into computer systems is great for saving time and maintaining organization. Unfortunately, this technology is often carried from room to room, increasing the risk of spreading bacteria. There are now keyboards designed to keep that infection from spreading with their flat and easy-to-clean surfaces.

There are beds in some hospitals that are much more accommodating for both the patient and the hospital staff. The position ones find themselves sitting or sleeping in can often hinder them from recovering appropriately.

These beds are built to weigh patients, as well as monitor what angles they are resting at. This decreases the likelihood of them falling out of bed or getting twisted in tubing. It also works to help hospital staff have easier access, should a patient need to be treated quickly.
