XIM: Ximvision - non-contact preventative health monitoring for older people

监测老年人健康的传统方法要么依靠劳动密集型的人工检查，要么依靠警报系统，而这些方法往往为时已晚，无法接受可能挽救生命的医疗干预。特别是对于老年用户来说，可穿戴设备可能很复杂、不方便、不舒服，对于那些患有痴呆症的人来说，很容易被遗忘。通过将最先进的计算机视觉技术与数据分析相结合，xim的目标是创造一种原型技术，可以在心脏病发作前24小时预测心脏病发作，而不需要可穿戴设备或昂贵的专业设备。在这个项目中，Xim将创建一个基本的原型，并与南安普顿大学医院合作，进行临床前测试来验证这项技术。这项技术具有巨大的潜力，可以解决以低成本为老年患者提供早期预防性警报的全球性问题。该技术在安全和一般福利等领域也具有很大的可转让潜力。

Conventional methods of monitoring older people’s health either rely on labour-intensivemanual checks or alarm systems which are often too late to receive healthcare interventionthat could save a life. For older users in particular, wearable devices can be complex,inconvenient and uncomfortable, and for those with dementia can easily be forgotten.By combining state of the art computer vision techniques with data analytics xim is aiming tocreate a prototype technology that will predict a heart attack up to 24hours before it occurswithout the need for wearable devices or expensive specialist equipment.In this project, Xim will create a basic prototype and in conjunction with University HospitalSouthampton, perform pre-clinical tests to validate this technology.This technology has significant potential to solve a global problem of providing earlypreventative alerts for older patients at low cost. The technology also has high potential fortransferability in sectors such as security and general wellbeing.
