Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for patient-observer monitoring are provided herein. A method creates a reference model based on interaction data of previous patient-observers. The method determines an optimal value for alertness based on the reference model. The method detects interaction data for a particular patient-observer. The method calculates an alertness value for the particular patient-observer. The method generates a warning when the calculated alertness value does not satisfy the optimal value.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computer device, perform a method, the method comprising:
- creating a reference model based on interaction data of previous patient-observers;
- determining an optimal value for alertness based on the reference model;
- detecting, using at least one sensor, interaction data for a particular patient-observer;
- calculating an alertness value for the particular patient-observer based on the reference model and the interaction data for the particular patient-observer;
- and
- generating a warning when the calculated alertness value of the particular patient-observer does not satisfy the optimal value.
A computerized method for optimizing patient observation, the method comprising:
- determining a preferred interaction rate for a particular patient-observer based on interaction data of previous patient-observers, the interaction data maintained in a log file within a database;
- detecting interaction data for the particular patient-observer;
- determining an interaction rate for the particular patient-observer based on the detected interaction data;
- and
- generating a warning when the interaction rate does not satisfy the preferred interaction rate.
A system for monitoring a patient-observer, the system comprising:
- a database comprising interaction data within a log file, the interaction data from a plurality of patient-observers;
- a sensor for detecting real-time interaction data of a particular patient-observer;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- create a reference model from the interaction data within the log file of the database;
- detect, using the sensor, real-time interaction data for the particular patient-observer;
- update the reference model using the detected real-time interaction data;
- determine a threshold value for alertness from the reference model;
- calculate an alertness value for the particular patient-observer;
- and
- generate a warning when the alertness value for the particular patient-observer fails to satisfy the threshold value of the reference model.
