Abstract

A data and power adapter (DPA) for assistance requests is described. The DPA includes multiple interfaces. A first interface communicatively couples a backend computer and a patient device of a health care facility. Services to and from the patient device can be supported through the first interface. A second interface communicatively couples a personal electronic device (PED) and/or a PED holder and the backend computer and provides power from a power source of the health care facility to the PED and/or PED holder. The PED may include an assistance request button. In this way, some or all of the services, including assistance request services, can also be supported via the PED and/or PED holder.
