Stud Health Technol Inform. 2021 Dec 15:284:365-366. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210747.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to innovate and develop a vision-based remote monitoring alarm system for agitated patients to provide intensive care unit (ICU) nurses with action warnings for agitated patients during their busy work. After the system is completed, preliminary laboratory verification is carried out, and the results are 94.87% in sensitivity, 97.44% in specificity, and 96.15% in accuracy, which enhances the confidence of the follow-up system in clinical testing.

Keywords: Visual-based motion detection; agitation; motion analysis.
