Hospital & Healthcare Video Analytics

Hospitals and healthcare services will have to manage COVID as part of day-to-day operations for years to come. Detect and act on non-compliance and make data-based decisions that reduce the risk of infection for staff, patients and visitors. Monitor and enforce social distancing, better contact tracing and correct PPE usage to keep staff working and COVID-free patients healthy. Use people counting, density and flow analysis to prevent overcrowding and reduce unnecessary person-to-person contact.

We live in an IoT world. So connect the dots and facilitate superior planning and oversight with video analytics: Combine different video feeds, and even integrate AI-enabled video data with third-party information sources, to identify new insights, patterns and trends. Directly pipe video-generated data into third-party processes and operational apps too, including wearable Personal Emergency Response Systems (to keep patients safer) and telemedicine technologies (to enable better remote monitoring of patients). Even integrate video-generated patient data – such as irritable behavior and disrupted sleep patterns – into specific diagnoses and proposed treatment plans.

Automatically monitor surveillance footage for objects or actions that warrant attention. Trigger real-time responses to security threats, emergencies, suspicious or aggressive behavior. Instantly detect and empower security to react to abandoned objects, loitering and staff abuse (70% of emergency nurses say they’ve been assaulted at work). Or, maintain access control over restricted areas with staff facial analysis and intrusion detection. Also analyze incidents after-the-fact to assist post-event investigations, such as on-premise confrontations and assaults, gift shop robbery, or stolen medical supplies. Search and pinpoint objects and actions-of-interest throughout your video library – from vehicles of a certain make or number plate, people with particular attributes (gender, t-shirt color, etc), to weapons and unexpected motions (running, punching, etc). Even assess aggregated incidents over time to unearth and act on interrelationships and trends (such as substantiating malpractice claims).

Optimize the resources at your disposal by assessing incidents and actions over time. Armed with these aggregated insights, operations teams and management can make better decisions about facility upgrades, staffing, maintenance programs and more. Match staffing levels with predicated demand based on trends by time, day or season. Leverage video analytics insights to reduce build-up in waiting rooms, keep bathrooms clean, minimize ambulance turnaround times and ‘off-stretcher’ delays. Streamline operations and logistics to run sustainable practices and help more patients – without compromising the quality of care. Optimize the utilization of patient equipment (beds, wheelchairs and IV walkers), assessment and treatment facilities (diagnostic machines, consult and operating rooms) as well as on-site amenities (car parks, pharmacies and caffeteriers). Reduce the need for manned security patrols and monitor equipment usage to help schedule predictive maintenance, which avoids costly accidents and capacity-reducing breakdowns.
