• To propose future development trends based on user requirements.

Main Methods:

• Literature review and analysis of existing nursing bed products.
• Categorization of identified functions into four main areas.
• Comparative analysis of current features against potential user needs.

Main Results:

• Four primary function categories were identified: security assurance, treatment aid, comfort optimization, and human-machine interaction/communication.
• Analysis revealed a gap between existing functionalities and evolving user requirements in elder care.
• Key development trends include physiological parameter monitoring, sleep aid, intelligent temperature control, and video communication.

Conclusions:

• Intelligent multifunctional nursing beds are vital for supporting the aging society.
• Future beds should integrate advanced monitoring, comfort, and communication technologies.
