“We are excited about our collaboration with LookDeep to use AI to expand virtual safety, nursing and medical services to support our staff and improve patient care,” said Dr. Paul DePriest, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Baptist Memorial Health Care.
Monitoring patient activity in the ICU is essential for sedation management, identifying agitation, and diagnosing delirium. Despite its importance in ICU care, activity monitoring is intermittent, subjective, and qualitative.
Inpatient video has massive potential as a new form of patient monitoring and as a new kind of medical data type. One obstacle to overcome to realize this potential is the fact that video generates massive amounts of data, way more than any human can interpret (much less clinicians who are pressed for time taking care of sick patients).
In this blog post, I review LookDeep Health’s IRB-approved collaboration with Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) on AI-enabled computer vision monitoring of trauma patients at-risk for delirium.
The use of video in the hospital creates a unique set of security challenges, and it is crucial that these challenges are met head-on to ensure the safety and privacy of patients and staff. As its usage grows, yesterday's security through anonymity is no longer an option.
How Computer Vision and AI can create help create a virtual guardian angel for nurses.
Why computer vision can help better observe patients and set the foundation for better hospital financials.
This work builds on our initial research in AI computer vision in the Duke medical intensive care unit. This research demonstrated several compelling data-driven readouts of patient activity and room environment, highlighting its potential utility in sleep, sedation, agitation, and delirium
Inpatient telemedicine in hospitals is expanding rapidly for many reasons. Yet older solutions running on old operating systems represent a fundamental threat to the security of the hospital environment. In the next 12-24 months, it is very likely that a major hospital outage or ransomware attack will have come through their telemedicine solution. Hospital CEOs […]
Given the importance of the overnight period in inpatient care, it remains challenging to get objective, quantitative data on whether or not a patient had a good night. And, to be provocative: how do we even define what is meant by a “good night?” While there is growing awareness that patients very often have sleepless […]
I was honored to give a talk at Society for Hospital Medicine Converge 2023. The talk discussed our successful collaboration with UCSF that demonstrated the feasibility and utility of an artificial intelligence-powered computer vision camera to monitor patients at high risk of delirium. We were excited by the ability to capture activity patterns that are […]
Over the past decade, demands on hospital staff have dramatically increased. Factors such as an aging population, a rise in inpatient acuity, a global pandemic, and unprecedented levels of burnout are presenting extraordinary challenges to those in the field. Consequently, an alarming shortage of healthcare workers has emerged, and it is only expected to worsen. […]
It is an unfortunate fact that unsafe things happen in hospitals. An incorrect medication dosage could be given. A central line can get infected. The hospital environment and complex clinical workflows conspire with the patient’s acute illness to create risk. Falls are clear example. An older adult may be at low risk for falling at […]
LookDeep has recently published articles on the pivotal role of hospital security in telemedicine systems within the healthcare sector. At LookDeep, our commitment to security has been fundamental to our mission from day one, and we’ve consistently emphasized its significance through our numerous publications. With the increasing focus on telemedicine security and related issues, its […]
Narinder Singh Of LookDeep Health On How To Develop An Effective Product Security Strategy An Interview With David Leichner Cyber threats are evolving, with malicious AI posing a significant risk to the digital infrastructure of organizations. How can Chief Product Security Officers (CPSOs) effectively protect their products and their organizations against these AI-driven cyber threats? […]
