This work presents the electronic design of an intelligent device that includes a monitor system for automatic movements of a robotic hospital bed based on posture classication and identication. This feature was carried out in response to the necessities dened by the application of a diagnostic identication methodology. This method was successfully applied to a public Mexican hospital and the issue identied was the mobility of elderly people and physically challenged individuals. The movement of these patients can be performed routinely or sporadically during their stay in a hospital. For patients who require a particular routine application of this action, the system includes an intelligent monitor system. This intelligent system allows medical experts to program the movements of the robotic bed considering the posture of the patients and the time in bed. This paper shows the hardware and software design of the electronic system and the physicals results.
