Oxehealth non-contact health monitoring prototype for secure rooms

这个项目是为了改善被拘留在保安室的人的安全和福祉。根据概念验证的出色结果，该项目将把摄像机对安全房间进行健康监测的概念转化为能够实时监测并在检测到异常生命体征和事件时发出警报的原型。这项技术还能够扩展到广泛的其他住宅和住所情况。安全的精神卫生医院、监狱和警察拘留室都拘留了大量的人，这些被拘留者往往面临极大的风险，无论是自我伤害、中毒(毒品或酒精)还是药物并发症。目前，这些风险是由工作人员定期观察来管理的，但这些可能会耗时、不准确，最终无法有效地避免可能导致死亡的重大事件。与布罗德穆尔医院合作，建立了概念验证项目，即摄像机可以成功地监控安全室中被拘留者的心率和呼吸频率。这些试验是在非患者志愿者的参与下进行的，这些志愿者晚上在自然光和红外线照明下进行散步、阅读、看电视和睡觉等活动，并包含隐藏因素。继续与Broadmoor的合作，这个12个月的项目将是朝着生产市场就绪解决方案迈出的重要一步。它将在实时摄像机和处理平台上实施概念验证中产生的算法，向远程监测站提供安全的数据通信，并以忙碌的工作人员易于交互和操作的格式显示结果。该项目将涉及工作人员和患者，并包括与相机制造商和安装商的合作。关键的成果将是一种成本效益高的解决方案，并且可以快速、轻松地实施到安全环境中。

This project is to improve the safety and well-being of people who are detained in securerooms. Following excellent results from the proof of concept this project will translate theconcept of camera derived health monitoring of secure rooms into a prototype capable ofmonitoring in real time and producing alerts when abnormal vital signs and events aredetected. This technology also has the capability to extend to a wide range of other residentialand domiciliary situations.Secure mental health hospitals, prisons and police custody suites all detain large numbers ofpeople and these detainees are often significantly at risk whether it be from self-harm,intoxication (drugs or alcohol) or complications from medication. The risks are currentlymanaged by periodic observations by staff, but these can be time consuming, inaccurate andultimately ineffective in avoiding major incidents which can result in death.Working in collaboration with Broadmoor Hospital, the proof of concept project establishedthat cameras can successfully monitor the heart rate and breathing rate of detainees in securerooms. The trials were performed with non-patient volunteers performing activities such aswalking, reading watching TV and sleeping in both natural light and under infra-redillumination at night and included elements of concealment.Continuing the collaboration with Broadmoor, this 12 month project will be a major steptowards the production of a market ready solution. It will implement the algorithms producedin the proof of concept on a real time camera and processing platform, provide secure datacommunications to remote monitoring stations and present results in a format that is easy forbusy staff to interact with and action. The project will involve staff and patients and includecollaboration with camera manufacturers and installers. The key output will be a solution thatis cost effective to produce and can quickly and easily be implemented into secureenvironments.
