Oxehealth non-contact health monitoring prototype for secure rooms

该项目旨在改善被拘留在安全室的人的安全和福祉。在概念验证的出色结果之后，该项目将把摄像机衍生的安全房间健康监测概念转化为能够真实的实时监测的原型，并在检测到异常生命体征和事件时发出警报.安全的精神病院、监狱和警察局拘留室都关押着大量的人，这些被拘留者往往面临严重的风险，无论是自残、中毒（毒品或酒精）还是药物并发症。目前，这些风险是通过工作人员的定期观察来管理的，但这些观察既耗时又不准确，而且最终无法避免可能导致死亡的重大事件。与布罗德莫医院合作，概念验证项目确定，摄像头可以成功地监测安全房间中被拘留者的心率和呼吸率。这些试验是在非病人志愿者中进行的，他们进行的活动包括散步、阅读、看电视和在自然光和夜间红外线照明下睡觉，并包括隐藏元素。继续与Broadmoor合作，这个为期12个月的项目将是生产市场就绪解决方案的重要一步。它将在一个真实的时间相机和处理平台上实现概念验证中产生的算法，为远程监测站提供安全的数据传输，并以一种便于忙碌的工作人员进行交互和采取行动的格式呈现结果。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。关键的产出将是一个解决方案，这是成本效益的生产，并可以快速，轻松地实施到安全的环境。

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.
