Abstract
This disclosure is directed towards a patient management system for anticipating patient needs associated with toileting. In some examples, a computing device of the patient management system determines a toilet need schedule for a patient based on conditions of the patient (e.g., from an electronic medical record of the patient) and/or events that occur associated with the patient, such as meals or beverages consumed, toileting events, medications taken, and so forth. Additionally, the patient management system may sense when a patient is moving towards a patient relief device, when the patient is using the patient relief device, and/or when the patient has concluded using the patient relief device. Such information may be provided to a healthcare provider so that the healthcare provider may assist with toileting needs to increase safety of the patient and/or to reduce accidents associated with toileting needs of the patient.
