SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCALIZED MONITORING OF PATIENTS

Smart overview of the Invention

A patient monitoring system integrates a camera and wearable devices to gather image and sensor data, respectively. The computing system processes this data to identify patients in the images and associates physiological parameters with them. It then generates a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays the image data with overlaid physiological parameters, ensuring the location of these parameters corresponds to the patient's position in the image.

Technical Field

The disclosure pertains to systems for monitoring patients by associating individual physiological data with specific patients within a localized setting, such as a waiting room or triage area. This approach aims to enhance patient management and care efficiency by providing real-time data visualization.

System Embodiments

In various embodiments, the system includes a camera and multiple wearable devices that collect image and sensor data. The computing system associates this data with patient identities using biometric information or unique identifiers from the wearables. The GUI displays this information overlaid on real-time images, allowing caregivers to view patient conditions efficiently.

Implementation Details

The system uses a handshake process to link wearable devices to patients via unique identifiers. It can track patient locations using technologies like triangulation or Bluetooth. Clinicians can view comprehensive patient data, including historical records and real-time physiological metrics, enhancing their ability to deliver timely care.

Data Verification

The system verifies sensor data by comparing it with image-derived parameters, adjusting confidence levels accordingly. Discrepancies trigger notifications for clinicians, helping maintain reliable patient monitoring. This feature ensures that physiological readings are accurate and reflective of the patient's current state.
