This is a cool project.

It may be better to check for a change in weight or temperature. Picking up an empty bed seems to be one of the requirements.

Once you have the basics working, you may need to consider how to accommodate equipment such as IV's or monitoring equipment that needs to stay with the patient as their bed is being moved.
