USB Interface suitable for hospital beds...

From Freescales website, describing the benefits of the S08JM family of processors:-

* USB Applications:
o PC peripherals and I/O modules
o Lighting control systems
o Test and measurement equipment
o Environmental and building automation
o Security and access control panels
o Stationary barcode scanners and barcode printers
o Patient monitoring systems
o Hospital beds and electric wheel chairs
o Automatic drug dispensers
o Laboratory equipment
o Industrial networking products
o Point-of-sale and printers
o Remote controls
o Gamepads
o Uninterrupted power supplies

The question isn't "why do hospital beds need connectivity?" but "Do marketing see USB interfaced hospital beds as a large enough market to call it out in a bullet item here?"
