Patient room real-time monitoring and alert system
A monitoring device obtains an image stream of at least a part of a room of a patient. The monitoring device identifies, from a first image of the image stream, first states of the part of the room. The monitoring device identifies, from a second image of the image stream, second states of the part of the room. The monitoring device compares the first states to the second states to identify a change indicating an active state. The monitoring device transmits, in response to identifying the active state, a notification to a server. The server transmits, in response to receiving the notification, an alert to a user device associated with a healthcare provider.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by a monitoring device, an image stream of at least a part of a room of a patient;
identifying, by the monitoring device from a first image of the image stream, first states of the part of the room;
identifying, by the monitoring device from a second image of the image stream, second states of the part of the room;
comparing, by the monitoring device, the first states to the second states to identify a change indicating an active state;
transmitting, by the monitoring device in response to identifying the active state, a notification to a server; and
transmitting, by the server in response to receiving the notification, an alert to a user device associated with a healthcare provider.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification includes the second image.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, on the user device, the second image along with details of the active state.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising categorizing the active state into one of predefined health or safety concerns.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the predefined health or safety concerns include potential fall risk, bed sore risk, or unattended patient movement.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying a multi-label image classification model to obtain the first states and the second states.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active state is determined based on a difference in patient position.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active state is determined based on a difference in a condition of the room.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a summary report of active states identified during a monitoring period.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert to the healthcare provider includes options to acknowledge the alert, request further information, or initiate a communication with the room.
11. A system for monitoring patient environments, comprising:
a monitoring device configured to:
obtain an image stream of at least a part of a room of a patient;
identify first states of the part of the room from a first image of the image stream;
identify second states of the part of the room from a second image of the image stream;
compare the first states to the second states to identify a change indicating an active state; and
transmit a notification in response to identifying the active state to a server;
the server configured to:
receive the notification from the monitoring device; and
transmit an alert in response to the notification to a user device; and
the user device associated with a healthcare provider configured to
receive the alert from the server.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the notification includes the second image.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user device is further configured to display the second image along with details of the active state.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the monitoring device is further configured to categorize the active state into one of predefined health or safety concerns.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the predefined health or safety concerns include potential fall risk, bed sore risk, or unattended patient movement.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the monitoring device is further configured to apply a multi-label image classification model to obtain the first states and the second states.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active state is determined based on one of a difference in patient position or a difference in a condition of the room.
18. Non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, by a monitoring device, an image stream of at least a part of a room of a patient;
identifying, by the monitoring device from a first image of the image stream, first states of the part of the room;
identifying, by the monitoring device from a second image of the image stream, second states of the part of the room;
comparing, by the monitoring device, the first states to the second states to identify a change indicating an active state;
transmitting, by the monitoring device in response to identifying the active state, a notification to a server; and
transmitting, by the server in response to receiving the notification, an alert to a user device associated with a healthcare provider.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying on the user device, the second image along with details of the active state.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise categorizing the active state into one of predefined health or safety concerns.
