Abstract
A computer-implemented method for targeted monitoring of a patient in a bed comprises: receiving an image of the bed; predicting, based on a posture of the patient in the image, a pressure score for one or more contact regions between the patient and the bed; and providing an indication of the pressure score for the one or more contact regions.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for targeted monitoring of a patient in a bed comprising:
- receiving an image of the bed;
- predicting, based on a posture of the patient in the image, a pressure score for one or more contact regions between the patient and the bed;
- and
- providing an indication of the pressure score for the one or more contact regions.
A system for targeted monitoring of a patient in a bed comprising:
- a depth sensing device configured to obtain an image of the bed;
- a processing resource configured to:
- receive the image of the bed;
- predict, based on a posture of the patient in the image, a pressure score for one or more contact regions between the patient and the bed;
- and
- provide an indication of the pressure score for the one or more contact regions.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions recorded thereon for execution by a processor to perform a set of operations, comprising:
- receiving an image of a bed;
- predicting, based on a posture of a patient in the image, a pressure score for one or more contact regions between the patient and the bed;
- and
- providing an indication of the pressure score for the one or more contact regions.
