Title
A Conceptual Framework for the Effect Evaluation of the Intelligent Bed
Abstract
This article has presented a conceptual framework for the effect evaluation of the intelligent bed. The overall study is inspired by the case study design. Different functions with wireless sensor technology have been tested in Denmark and China. We have included technical aspects concerning on how different hardware have been operated in the different contexts, and how these applications and standards affect the process of performing clinical tasks. We have also discussed how the cultural differences and barriers can be highlighted by the evaluation system in the test of the intelligent bed. We concluded that it is important to realize the difference on the local social---cultural, economic context as well as the technical infrastructures. A process perspective should bear in mind when adopting new technology. It is also important to involve all the stakeholders including patients, healthcare professionals and researchers, etc., as a good way to facilitate the process of accepting of the technology.
