Abstract
A system and method for patient movement detection and fall monitoring to address the need to proactively monitor patients to detect abnormal movements, in-room activity, and other movements associated with providing in-room care. The system comprises an environmental model which can be used to track the position and movement of a patient and a classifier network configured to receive movement data and classify a patient's movement as normal or abnormal movement. In addition to monitoring in-room activity, the system and method create safe zones within the room to ensure patients are proactively monitor in the event of a seizure, fall, or other unintended activity. The system will record and store in-room video in a secure environment. Videos and notifications are automatically sent to designated staff as events occur.
