Healthcare object recognition, systems and methods
Healthcare object (HCO) discriminator systems and methods are presented. Systems can obtain a digital representation of a scene via a sensor interface. An HCO discriminator platform analyzes the digital representation to discriminate objects within the scene as being associated with a type of HCO or as being unrelated to a type of HCO. Once the HCO recognition platform determines that a type of HCO is relevant, it instantiates an actual HCO. The HCO can be routed to one or more destinations based on routing rules generated from a template or based on the manner in which the objects in the scene were discriminated.
1 . A computer-based method of routing healthcare objects, the method comprising:
receiving, by at least one processor from at least one sensor, a digital representation of a scene, wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one electrocardiogram (EKG) medical sensor;
