Safety in Healthcare began with the implementation of surveillance cameras

This was originally developed with an aim to protect and secure the premises. Today the impact of video analytics in this arena is even more critical. Medical services often put caregivers at a risk of violence from the patients, their attendants, and others. Surveillance with AI video analytics systems can monitor the entire premises continuously to detect any inappropriate behavior, suspicious movement or intruders. Upon detection of any threat or violence, the system raises an alert to ensure swift and preventive action by the security teams.

Patient fall detection

01

Falls can cause crippling and life-threatening injuries to elderly patients as their mobility is limited and bones become brittle. In such cases, patients admitted to hospitals, especially bedridden ones, require consistent monitoring. What if someone falls off the bed or elsewhere on the premises? The limited hospital staff might not be able to promptly notice such incidents.

02

However, video analytics acts as a force multiplier in these situations. These solutions can differentiate between a person lying in bed, sitting on the floor, or having fallen or become unconscious. Detection of such incidents allows video analytics systems to raise alerts and provide timely responses, ensuring patient safety.

03

Patients recovering from surgeries, suffering from critical injuries, or bedridden elderly with severe diseases can be monitored effectively. The AI analytics ability of CCTV surveillance systems enables them to distinguish and understand SOS signals from patients, leading to better patient safety outcomes.
