Looking for patterns in healthcare using video that lead to infection.
Researchers use AI to monitor hospital staff hygiene
The technology could be used to reduce rates of hospital-acquired infections.
By Mallory Locklear, @mallorylocklear in Engadget.
Hospital-acquired infections are a pesky problem and around one in 25 hospital patients have at least one healthcare-associated illness at any given time. To combat this issue, a research team based at Stanford University turned to depth cameras and computer vision to observe activity on hospital wards -- a system that could be used to track hygienic practices of hospital staff and visitors in order to spot behaviors that might contribute to the spread of infection. The work is being presented at the Machine Learning in Healthcare Conference later this week. ... "
