---ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HERE---

The output will be a robotic bed mover which allows the bed to be moved without contact between the caregiver and the bed/patient. Integrated technology will also allow 'smart' capabilities to be introduced in to the hospital, increasing efficiency and reducing healthcare costs.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
