We propose a simple and robust method to detect heartbeats using the ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal that is produced by a hydraulic bed sensor placed under the mattress. The proposed method is found beneficial especially when the BCG signal does not display consistent J-peaks, which can often be the case for overnight, in-home monitoring, especially with frail seniors. Heartbeat detection is based...
The purpose of this study was to implement a web based application to provide the ability to rewind and review depth videos captured in hospital rooms to investigate the event chains that led to patient's fall at a specific time. In this research, Kinect depth images are being used to capture shadow-like images of the patient and their room to resolve concerns about patients' privacy. As a result...
We present an approach for patient activity recognition in hospital rooms using depth data collected using a Kinect sensor. Depth sensors such as the Kinect ensure that activity segmentation is possible during day time as well as night while addressing the privacy concerns of patients. It also provides a technique to remotely monitor patients in a non-intrusive manner. An existing fall detection algorithm...
