Patent Issued for Patient video monitoring systems and methods for thermal detection of liquids (USPTO 12080069).

A patent has been issued to CareView Communications Inc. for patient video monitoring systems and methods for thermal detection of liquids. The invention aims to automate patient monitoring in healthcare facilities by analyzing video frames to gather medical information. It uses multispectral, including thermal sensors and imaging, to detect liquids in the patient area being monitored. The system can identify different types of liquids, such as bodily fluids, intravenous (IV) liquids, and beverages, and generate alerts to notify healthcare professionals. This technology can help improve patient care and safety by detecting events like spills, depletion of IV liquids, and bodily functions. [Extracted from the article]
