[0069] In one example, the processor 101 is configured to execute a program stored in the memory 103 , so that the processor 101 performs the monitoring and prompting method described below.
[0070] Below, we will combine the accompanying drawings 2 to
[0071] As an example, as shown in FIG2 , the present application provides a monitoring and prompting method 200 , which includes the following steps:
[0072] In step S210, the video and risk level of the target object are obtained;
[0073] In step S220, the video is recognized to obtain feature information reflecting the activity of the target object, the feature information including at least: body posture and position information of the target object, wherein the body posture is obtained by analyzing a plurality of posture key points that can reflect the outline of the target object, and the position information includes the position relationship of the target object relative to the bed;
[0074] In step S230, if the body posture is the first preset posture and the position information meets the first preset position condition, it is determined that the target object has a tendency to leave the bed, and bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level is output, wherein the first preset position condition includes: the target object is located in the bed but moving toward the edge of the bed, and / or part of the target object's body area is already outside the edge of the bed.
[0075] According to the monitoring and prompting method and system of the present application, the video is identified to obtain characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object. The characteristic information includes at least: the body posture and position information of the target object. If the body posture is a first preset posture and the position information meets the first preset position condition, it is determined that the target object has a tendency to leave the bed, and bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level is output to promptly prompt the target object with a tendency to leave the bed, so that the target object can get out of bed in accordance with the bed leaving prompt information or remind the target object not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed due to the target object's improper getting out of bed and improving the nursing management of the target object.
[0076] Specifically, in step S210, the video of the target object can be captured by a video capture device, which may also include audio information, etc. The video capture device can be, for example, any device with an image capture function, such as a camera. For example, the video capture device can be an RGB camera or a depth camera. When there are multiple target objects, each target object can correspond to one or more video capture devices. The video captured by the video capture device can be obtained. The video can be a real-time captured video. Subsequently, by performing recognition processing on the real-time captured video, information such as the posture of the target object on the bed can be obtained in real time, and timely bed leaving information prompts can be provided to reduce the risk of falling out of bed.
[0077] In some embodiments, the risk level is a rating of the target subject's risk of falling from bed. For example, the risk level for some target subjects may be allowed to move around in bed or can get out of bed, while the risk level for some target subjects may be strictly bedridden. Generally, the risk level for strictly bedridden subjects is higher than that for allowed to move around in bed or can get out of bed. The risk level may be determined by medical personnel based on the target subject's overall condition.
[0078] The risk level of the target object can be obtained by any suitable means, for example, the risk level of the target object can be obtained from an electronic medical record system, for example, the electronic medical record system stores information about the risk level of the target object, which can be retrieved when needed. For example, the corresponding risk level information can be searched and retrieved in the electronic medical record system using the target object's identification information, such as bed number, name, ID card, etc. For another example, the risk level of the target object can be obtained by receiving input information associated with the risk level of the target object, for example, inputting the risk level of the target object through a display interface of an interactive device. The input information can be input by a user through a remote terminal device (such as a mobile phone, tablet, notebook, wearable device) or input by an interactive device such as a monitoring device or a central station. Optionally, the interactive device can communicate with a video processing device to transmit the input information to the video processing device, which obtains the risk level and performs subsequent processing and analysis based on the video. The video processing device can be a processing device specifically for video processing, such as a video server, or it can also be a video acquisition device. The results of the analysis and processing can be subsequently transmitted to the interactive device for presentation.
[0079] In some embodiments, in step S220, the body posture is obtained based on an analysis of multiple posture key points that can reflect the outline of the target object (or the skeleton of the target object), and the position information includes the positional relationship of the target object relative to the bed. The body posture and position information can be used to determine whether the target object has a tendency to leave the bed.
[0080] Exemplarily, the video is identified to obtain characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object, including: processing multiple frames of video images in the video to obtain change sequence data of the target object's posture key points; based on the change sequence data of the posture key points, the body posture of the target object is identified, and the body posture includes any of the following: lying posture, sitting posture, posture in the process of changing from lying to sitting, standing posture, walking posture, falling out of bed posture or falling posture, turning over, etc., or other types of body postures. It is worth mentioning that in this application, the target object can be a patient, or it can also be a person who needs care and monitoring, such as the elderly or children.
[0081] The change sequence data of the target object's posture key points can be obtained by any suitable method. For example, multiple frames of video images in a video can be processed first to identify the position data of the target object's posture key points in each frame of video image; the position data of the posture key points in each frame of video image can be recorded in chronological order to obtain the change sequence data of the target object's posture key points. By obtaining the change sequence data of the posture key points, the target object's body posture can be identified based on the change sequence data of the posture key points. Optionally, the change sequence data of the posture key points can be output each time a preset number of video frames are obtained, or can be randomly obtained based on the position data of the posture key points corresponding to the multiple frames of video images recorded in chronological order.
[0082] In some embodiments, the multiple pose key points include multiple joint points used to represent the joints of the target object. For example, they may be 18 or 25 joint points extracted by processing multiple frames of video images in a video based on the Open-pose algorithm. These joint points may be joint points of the arms, head, torso, legs, and other parts of the human body.
[0083] In addition to the Open-pose algorithm, any other suitable algorithm capable of identifying the joint points of the target object may also be used.
[0084] Further, the body posture of the target object can be identified according to the change sequence data of the posture key points. For example, the change sequence data of the posture key points are input into a pre-trained recognition model for processing to identify the body posture of the target object. Alternatively, the pre-trained recognition model can be an ST-GCN model or other applicable models. The ST-GCN model is a spatiotemporal graph convolutional neural network model for solving the behavior recognition analysis problem based on human skeleton key points (i.e., human skeleton joint points). The training of this model can adopt any applicable training method well known to those skilled in the art.
[0085] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the video is identified to obtain characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object, and the process also includes: processing the video to identify a first positioning target frame corresponding to the target object and a second positioning target frame corresponding to the hospital bed, wherein the position of the target object can be located by the first positioning target frame, and the position of the hospital bed can be located by the second positioning target frame. The edge contour of the hospital bed can also be determined by processing the video, and the pixel position of the closed figure outlining the edge of the hospital bed can be output, or the edge contour of the target object can be obtained. In some embodiments, the edge contour of the target object can be the same as or different from the first positioning target frame. For example, the first positioning target frame can be a rectangular frame or other suitable shape frame, which can surround the target object. The edge contour of the hospital bed can be the same as or different from the second positioning target frame. For example, the second positioning target frame can be a rectangular frame or other suitable shape frame, which can surround the entire hospital bed.
[0086] The video can be identified and processed using a target detection algorithm to determine and identify the target object and the hospital bed in the video image, and then the target object and the hospital bed are located using the first positioning target frame and the second positioning target frame. For example, the target detection algorithm can be any one of the following: VJ, HOG, DPM Detector, RCNN, SPPNet, Fast RCNN, Faster RCNN, FPN, Cascade RCNN, Yolo v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, X, SSD, RetinaNet, CornerNet, CenterNet, FCOS, DETR, etc.
[0087] As an example, the method of the present application further includes calculating the area of the first positioning target frame outside the second positioning target frame as the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed. By obtaining the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed, the positional relationship between the target object and the bed can be determined to assist in determining whether the target object has a tendency to leave the bed or fall out of bed.
[0088] Optionally, the area of the region where the target object is located outside the edge of the bed may also be obtained by calculating the area of the region where the target object is located outside the edge of the bed.
[0089] After the above steps, step S230 can be performed to determine whether the target subject has an intention to leave the bed. For example, if the body posture is a first preset posture and the position information meets the first preset position condition, then the target subject is determined to have an intention to leave the bed. The body posture combined with the position information can more accurately determine whether the target subject has an intention to leave the bed. The intention to leave the bed refers to the target subject's intention to prepare or be about to leave the bed. The first preset position condition includes: the target subject is located within the bed but moving toward the edge of the bed, and / or a portion of the target subject's body area is located outside the edge of the bed. The first preset posture includes the posture during the transition from a recumbent position to a sitting position. Since a target subject originally in a recumbent position changes to a sitting position, there are two possibilities: either simply sitting in the bed or preparing to leave the bed. Therefore, accurate determination of the intention to leave the bed based solely on posture is not possible. However, combining the position information can provide an accurate determination of the intention to leave the bed. For example, if the target subject is located within the bed but moving toward the edge of the bed, this indicates that the target subject is preparing to leave the bed, and thus, an intention to leave the bed can be determined. Alternatively, if a portion of the target subject's body area is located outside the edge of the bed, this indicates that the target subject is preparing to leave the bed, and thus, an intention to leave the bed can be determined.
[0090] It is worth mentioning that the positional relationship between the target object and the bed can be reflected in other suitable ways, in addition to the above-mentioned target object being located in the bed but moving toward the edge of the bed, and / or part of the target object's body area being located outside the edge of the bed, such as by the position of the target object's center of mass or center of gravity relative to the bed.
[0091] In some embodiments, part of the target object's body area is located outside the edge of the bed means that the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed is greater than a first preset threshold. This can assist in determining that the target object may have a tendency to leave the bed, wherein the first preset threshold can be reasonably set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.
[0092] Furthermore, when it is determined that the target subject has a tendency to leave the bed, bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level is output. By prompting the target subject with a tendency to leave the bed in a timely manner, the target subject can get out of bed in accordance with the bed leaving prompt information or be reminded not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed due to the target subject's improper getting out of bed and improving the nursing management of the target subject.
[0093] Among them, different risk levels can correspond to different bed-leaving prompt information. For example, the higher the risk level, the more prominent the presentation of the bed-leaving prompt information. For example, when the risk level is the first risk level, the bed-leaving prompt information is: playing the rule steps that the target object should follow when getting out of bed, wherein the target object of the first risk level usually performs the activity of getting out of bed; when the risk level is the second risk level, the bed-leaving prompt information is: outputting an alarm message, wherein the risk level of the first risk level is lower than the risk level of the second risk level, that is, the risk level of falling out of bed at the first risk level is lower than the risk level of falling out of bed at the second risk level, that is, the target object at the second risk level is more likely to fall out of bed than the target object at the first risk level. By outputting an alarm message when the target object with a higher risk level has a tendency to get out of bed, the target object is warned or prompted not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed.
[0094] The rule steps can be played to the target object through voice broadcast or other means to remind the target object to get out of bed in a standardized manner. For example, the rule steps include: first lying down and maintaining a lying posture for at least a first preset time, then sitting up and maintaining a sitting posture for at least a second preset time, and then standing up and maintaining a standing posture for at least a third preset time. Among them, the first preset time, the second preset time, and the third preset time can be reasonably set according to the actual situation or risk level of the target object. For example, the first preset time, the second preset time, and the third preset time can all be 30 seconds. That is, reminding patients to follow the "three steps to get out of bed": lying down for 30 seconds, sitting up for 30 seconds, and standing for 30 seconds can effectively prevent falling out of bed.
[0095] The rule steps are only used as examples, and other suitable steps or rules for regulating patients getting out of bed may also be applicable to this application.
[0096] In some embodiments, the alarm information can be output in a variety of ways, such as by alerting the target patient's corresponding medical personnel. For example, the alarm information can be output in a preset presentation mode, including at least one of the following: a text description of the second risk level, a symbol for the second risk level, an audible alarm, or a visual alarm. The alarm information can be presented on an interactive device, such as a monitoring device, a central station, or a remote terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or wearable device). In some embodiments, a voice alarm can be played through a speaker, or an audible or visual alarm can be used to remind the target patient not to get out of bed.
[0097] Optionally, the first risk level includes being allowed to move around in bed, or being able to get out of bed to move around; the second risk level includes absolute bed rest, or may include more risk level divisions, which are not specifically limited here.
[0098] Once a fall occurs, medical staff must promptly understand the circumstances surrounding the fall, particularly the patient's posture at the time of the fall, to identify the point of impact and quickly assess any potential injuries. However, inpatients are often physically weak and may experience confusion after a fall, making it difficult for them to clearly describe the fall to medical staff.
[0099] In view of the above problems, the method of the present application can also judge whether the target object has fallen out of bed and output a prompt. For example, the position information also includes the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed or the center of mass position of the target object. The method of the present application also includes: if the body posture is a second preset posture and the position information meets the second preset position condition, then it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed and a fall-out prompt message is output, wherein the second preset position condition includes: the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed is greater than a second preset threshold, or the center of mass position of the target object moves from inside the bed to outside the bed. The accuracy of judging whether the target object has fallen out of bed by combining body posture with position information is higher, and when it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed, a fall-out prompt message is output, so that medical staff can promptly know that the target object has fallen out of bed, so that they can provide more timely help or treatment to the target object who has fallen out of bed.
[0100] Optionally, the second preset posture includes a falling-out-of-bed posture or a falling-down posture or other postures indicating that the target object may be in a falling-out-of-bed event.
[0101] If the target object's area outside the bed edge is greater than a second preset threshold, and most of the target object's body is already outside the bed edge, then the posture can be used to determine that a fall from bed has occurred. Alternatively, if the target object's center of mass moves from inside the bed to outside the bed and is now outside the bed, then the target object is also outside the bed, and then the posture can be used to determine that a fall from bed has occurred. The second preset threshold is greater than the aforementioned first preset threshold, and these thresholds can be different for different target objects, and can be reasonably set based on the target object's actual height and size.
[0102] In some embodiments, a fall out of bed can also be determined by the following conditions. For example, when the target object is in the second preset posture, the height of the target object in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the bed is not higher than a first threshold height, for example, not higher than half of the target object's body height, or other suitable set values. This indicates that the patient may have fallen to the ground in a sitting, lying or other posture. For another example, when the target object is in the second preset posture, the height of the target object in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the bed is lower than the length in the direction parallel to the surface of the bed, and / or most of the target object is located under the bed. These conditions combined with the target object's body posture can be used to determine whether the target object has fallen out of bed with higher accuracy.
[0103] In other embodiments, the positional relationship between the target object and the ground may be identified through video, and combined with the body posture to determine whether the target object has fallen out of bed.
[0104] In order to determine whether a person has fallen out of bed, the center of mass position of the target object can be determined by the following method. For example, multiple frames of video images in a video are processed to identify the target object in the multiple frames of video images. For example, the target object is identified based on the aforementioned target detection algorithm, and the target object is located by a first positioning target frame. The area enclosed by the first positioning target frame can be used as a region of interest (ROI) for motion monitoring of the target object; a motion heat map corresponding to the target object in the multiple frames of video images is calculated, for example, a motion heat map within the ROI is calculated; and the center of mass position of the target object in the multiple frames of video images is calculated based on the position information of multiple pixel points in the motion heat map corresponding to the multiple frames of video images.
[0105] The motion heat map can be calculated by any suitable method known to those skilled in the art, such as by the difference method between adjacent frames. In some embodiments, the motion heat map corresponding to the target object in the multi-frame video image is calculated, including: for the video image of the target frame in the multi-frame video image, performing the following steps: subtracting the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the video image of the target frame from the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the video image of the previous frame to obtain the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the multiple pixel points in the video image of the target frame, or calculating with the video image of the next frame, or accumulating the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the frame difference images before the video image of the target frame to the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the multiple pixel points in the video image of the target frame; obtaining the frame difference image corresponding to the video image of the target frame based on the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the multiple pixel points, wherein the frame difference image represents Motion amplitude distribution within the ROI; filtering the frame difference image (such as median filtering or other suitable filtering methods) to obtain a filtered frame difference image. This filtering step can remove the influence of fluctuations between pixels; setting the absolute value of the frame difference in the filtered frame difference image that is less than the preset frame difference threshold to 0 to obtain a motion heat map corresponding to the video image of the target frame. The preset frame difference threshold can be reasonably set according to actual conditions. This step can ignore areas with small motion amplitudes, that is, areas with small motion amplitudes are approximated as static. The motion heat map can reflect the distribution of moving areas and static areas, and the pixel values in the moving areas, such as the absolute value of the frame difference, reflect the motion amplitude distribution within the ROI.
[0106] In one embodiment, before subtracting the pixel values of corresponding pixel points in the video image of the target frame and the video image of its previous frame to obtain the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to multiple pixel points in the video image of the target frame, the video image of the target frame and the video image of its previous frame can also be converted into grayscale images, and subsequent calculations can be performed using the grayscale images.
[0107] In some embodiments, the center of mass position of the target object in the multi-frame video image is calculated based on the position information of multiple pixels in the motion heat map corresponding to the multi-frame video image, including: multiplying the horizontal axis coordinate value and the vertical axis value of the multiple pixel points in the motion heat map by their respective corresponding weights and then summing them to obtain the horizontal axis coordinate value and the vertical axis coordinate value of the center of mass position of the target object, and the weights corresponding to the multiple pixel points in the motion heat map are the ratio between the absolute value of the frame difference corresponding to the multiple pixel points and the sum of the absolute value of the frame difference of all pixel points. This method can obtain the center of mass position of the target object, and then judge the approximate position of the target object by the center of mass position, and then combine the center of mass position to assist in judging whether the target object has fallen out of bed.
[0108] Furthermore, it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed and a fall-out prompt message is output. The accuracy of judging whether the target object has fallen out of bed by combining body posture with position information is higher. When it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed, the fall-out prompt message is output so that medical personnel can promptly learn that the target object has fallen out of bed and can provide assistance or treatment to the target object that has fallen out of bed more promptly. The fall-out prompt message includes at least one of the following prompt messages: a schematic diagram of key points of the posture when the target object contacts the ground after falling out of bed, a schematic diagram of key points of the posture when falling out of bed, a video screenshot of the fall-out, a video within a preset time before and after the fall-out, or other suitable prompt messages. After the patient falls out of bed, the body posture of the patient when falling out of bed is automatically extracted as the fall-out prompt message and displayed on the medical equipment so that the medical personnel can find the point of impact when falling out of bed through the fall-out prompt message, assist the medical personnel in making a quick judgment on the injury caused by falling out of bed, and judge the possible body damage as soon as possible.
[0109] Exemplarily, after falling out of bed and during falling out of bed can be different moments in the process of falling out of bed. After falling out of bed can be when the target object has fallen out of bed and contacted the ground, and during falling out of bed can be when the target object falls from the bed or is in the process of falling.
[0110] The posture key point diagram may be formed by connecting multiple posture key points through lines according to the arrangement of the human skeleton, as shown in FIG3 , for example.
[0111] In some embodiments, the display device of the interactive device can provide a display observation interface, and the fall prompt information can be displayed through the display device of the interactive device. For example, the interactive device can be a monitoring device, and the monitoring device has a display device for displaying the information of the corresponding target object. Alternatively, the interactive device can also be a central station, and the display device of the central station can be used to display the information of multiple target objects. For example, the display observation interface of the display device of the central station includes at least one display area, and each display area corresponds to displaying at least part of the medical parameter information of a target object. For example, the display observation interface shown in Figure 4 provides 4 display areas, and the 4 display areas simultaneously display at least part of the medical parameter information of 4 target objects, such as vital signs information.
[0112] Furthermore, the user can also operate one of the multiple display areas, for example, by using a mouse or a touch screen to open a detail interface of the corresponding selected target object. The detail interface can be used to display real-time information and review information of the selected target object. Specifically, when a selection instruction for one of the multiple display areas is obtained (for example, based on clicking the corresponding display area through a mouse or a touch screen), the display device is controlled to display the detail interface of the selected target object corresponding to the selected display area. The detail interface is provided with a review button (not shown). Optionally, the detail interface is also provided with a real-time information viewing button (not shown). Optionally, the detail interface can be located on one side of the display observation interface and does not cover the multiple display areas displayed by the display observation interface, so that while viewing the selected target object, partial medical parameter information of other target objects, such as vital signs information, can also be viewed.
[0113] When a viewing instruction for the real-time information viewing button is obtained, the control display device displays the real-time interface of the selected target object on the details interface. The real-time interface is used to display real-time information of the selected target object, such as real-time medical parameter information such as vital signs parameter information and real-time video information.
[0114] In addition to displaying a real-time information viewing button and a review button, the details interface may also include corresponding buttons for patient management. These buttons allow users to switch between the real-time, review, and patient management interfaces. It should be noted that real-time and review are relative terms. For example, the details interface may include multiple review buttons, each used to display review information from different perspectives.
[0115] In some examples, as shown in FIG4 , outputting the bed-falling prompt information includes: presenting the bed-falling prompt information in the form of a text description and / or an icon, for example, displaying the bed-falling prompt information in the form of a text description or an icon on the display of the interactive device, such as “The patient may fall out of bed” in FIG4 .
[0116] In some embodiments, the bed-falling reminder information can also be displayed in a preset display mode, for example, the event information is a text description of the target event. The preset display mode can be different from the display mode of the displayed medical parameter information, such as a different background color (a red background can be used for a patient who may fall out of bed as shown in FIG4 ), a different font, or a flashing display, or can be accompanied by an output sound and / or light prompt. In this way, medical staff can be reminded in a timely manner that the target patient is in a bed-falling event so that they can provide timely assistance or treatment.
[0117] When the real-time interface of the selected target object is displayed on the details interface, the processor is further used to: when an operation instruction for a fall-out prompt information described in text or the like (e.g., a patient may fall out of bed as shown in FIG4 ) is obtained, relevant prompt information of the posture of the selected target object when the fall-out event occurs is obtained, and relevant prompt information of the posture of the selected target object when the fall-out event occurs is controlled by the display device, such as a posture key point schematic diagram as shown in FIG4 , for example, a posture key point schematic diagram when the patient contacts the ground after falling out of bed, a posture key point schematic diagram when falling out of bed, or a video screenshot when falling out of bed, a video within a preset time before and after falling out of bed, or other suitable prompt information to enable medical personnel to know the posture of the target object when falling out of bed. Wherein, the relevant prompt information of the posture of the selected target object when the fall-out event occurs can be displayed in an information display window provided by the display device 102, and the information display window can be displayed in the form of a floating window on the current interface of the details interface, or can also be displayed in the real-time interface of the target object, or displayed near the display area corresponding to the target object, etc.
[0118] In certain embodiments, the method of the present application also includes: in response to an operation instruction for a fall-out prompt message (such as a text prompt message as shown in Figure 4, or an icon prompt message, etc.), synchronously displaying a video within a preset time before and after the fall-out and a schematic diagram of key points of posture when falling out, or, a video within a preset time before and after the fall-out, for example, the preset time can be a time of any length, such as 10s, 20s, etc., wherein the schematic diagram of key points of posture when falling out can be displayed in superposition with the video, or, both can be displayed in different display windows, or can also be displayed in different areas of the same display window, or, can also be that the schematic diagram of key points of posture is synchronously displayed in a partial area of the video. By displaying these information, so that medical staff can find the point of application when falling out through the fall-out prompt message, assisting medical staff in making a quick judgment on the injury of falling out, and judging possible body damage as soon as possible.
[0119] In one example, each display area is further configured to display at least a portion of the medical parameter information and target event corresponding to a target object. The target event is the identification of video information for each target object. For example, as shown in FIG4 , when a target object corresponding to any display area is identified as being in a target event, the display area corresponding to the target object in the target event displays at least a portion of the medical parameter information and event information of the target event. For example, in FIG4 , if the patient in bed 02 is in a target event indicating a patient may fall from bed, a text description of the patient's potential fall from bed is displayed in the display area corresponding to bed 02. The event information of the target event can be displayed in a sub-area of the corresponding display area without overlapping with the displayed medical parameter information. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the event information of the target event can be displayed in the form of a pop-up window. For example, the event information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a text description of the target event and the time when the target event occurred. In some embodiments, the event information can also include video information or image information of the target event occurring, and / or video information within a preset time period before and after the target event occurs. Optionally, the pop-up window can partially cover the corresponding display area, or the pop-up window can cover a portion of the display observation interface.
[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the review information also includes a list of alarm events for the selected target object. The alarm event list is used to display the alarm event information of the selected target object within a preset time. The alarm event information includes the alarm event type. Optionally, the alarm event type includes at least one of the following: target event, vital sign abnormality alarm, and device abnormality alarm. The target event is obtained by identifying the video information of each target object captured by the video capture device. The target event includes at least one of the following information: facial expression, body part movement, wherein the body part movement includes at least one of the following: the target object may fall out of bed, the target object is turning over, the target object's hands are moving irregularly, or other movements that may put the target object in danger. Through this alarm event list, medical staff can conveniently review the various times that the target object is in within the preset time.
[0121] In one example, the alarm event information also includes at least one of the following information: medical parameter information when the alarm event occurs, medical parameter information before and within a preset time before and after the alarm event, video information within a preset time before and after the alarm event, image information when the alarm event occurs, or other suitable information.
[0122] In some embodiments, the alarm event list is arranged in chronological order according to the time when the alarm events occurred, so that the user can easily find the event corresponding to the time he wants to query in a timely manner.
[0123] In one example, multiple alarm events can be marked in a differentiated manner, such as with differentiated colors, or different alarm types correspond to identifications with different display methods, and different alarm levels correspond to identifications with different display methods. For example, the alarm levels can include: critical, serious, technical and other levels according to the alarm urgency from high to low, and different alarm levels correspond to identifications with different display methods, such as identifications with different colors.
[0124] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , the method of the present application further includes: in response to a user's detailed viewing instruction for the first alarm event in the alarm event list, controlling the display to display detailed information of the first alarm event; in response to a video review instruction input by the user (e.g., in response to a video review instruction input by the user via the video review button 214 ), controlling the display to display a video of the target object corresponding to the first alarm event or within a preset time before and after the first alarm event on the alarm event details interface. For example, as shown in FIG5 , when the first alarm event is a fall from bed event, a video screenshot of the fall from bed, a video within a preset time before and after the fall from bed, or other suitable prompt information is displayed to inform the medical staff of the target object's posture during the fall from bed event. Alternatively, as shown in FIG6 , when the first alarm event is a fall from bed event, controlling the display to display fall from bed prompt information corresponding to the fall from bed event on the alarm event details interface, such as a schematic diagram of the key points of the posture when the fall from bed contacts the ground, a schematic diagram of the key points of the posture when the fall from bed occurs. The time when the first alarm event occurs is a moment within the preset time. The video review button 214 can be set at any suitable position, such as the top, left, or other suitable position of the alarm event details interface. In this application, the various display interfaces and display windows can be reasonably arranged according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.
[0125] The detailed information of the first alarm event includes but is not limited to the alarm occurrence time, alarm settings, vital sign parameter data information at the time of the alarm, waveform graph, trend graph, etc.
[0126] Optionally, the preset time includes the time when the first alarm event occurs, a first time period before the time when the first alarm event occurs, and a second time period after the time when the first alarm event occurs. The total time of the preset time can be reasonably set as needed, and the time of the first time period and the second time period can also be arbitrarily adjusted. Optionally, the preset time can include 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds, etc.
[0127] In summary, by identifying the video, characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object is obtained, and the characteristic information includes at least: the body posture and position information of the target object. If the body posture is the first preset posture and the position information meets the first preset position condition, it is determined that the target object has a tendency to leave the bed, and the bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level is output to promptly prompt the target object with the tendency to leave the bed, so that the target object can get out of bed in accordance with the bed leaving prompt information or remind the target object not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed due to the target object's irregular getting out of bed, improving the nursing management of the target object, and at the same time, after detecting that the patient has fallen out of bed, the patient's body posture when falling out of bed will be automatically extracted and displayed on the medical equipment to assist medical staff in making a quick judgment on the injury caused by falling out of bed.
[0128] Furthermore, referring to FIG7 , the present application also provides a monitoring and prompting method 700 , which includes the following steps:
[0129] Step S710, obtaining a video of the target object;
[0130] Step S720: Recognize the video to obtain feature information reflecting the target object's activity, where the feature information includes at least the target object's body posture and position information;
[0131] The body posture is obtained by analyzing multiple posture key points that can reflect the outline of the target object. The position information includes: the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed or the center of mass position of the target object;
[0132] Step S730: If the body posture is the second preset posture and the position information meets the second preset position condition, it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed, and a fall-out prompt message is output;
[0133] The second preset position condition includes: the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed is greater than a second preset threshold, or the center of mass position of the target object moves from inside the bed to outside the bed.
[0134] The accuracy of judging whether the target object has fallen out of bed by combining body posture with position information is higher. When it is determined that the target object has fallen out of bed, a fall prompt message is output so that medical staff can be informed of the fall in time and can provide help or treatment to the target object in a more timely manner.
[0135] For details of the relevant steps in this embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0136] In some embodiments, the second preset posture includes a falling posture or a falling posture, or other suitable postures that can represent a possible falling posture.
[0137] In some embodiments, when in the second preset posture, the height of the target object in the direction perpendicular to the bed surface is not higher than a first threshold height, and / or, when in the second preset posture, the height of the target object in the direction perpendicular to the bed surface is lower than its length in the direction parallel to the bed surface.
[0138] In some embodiments, the video is recognized to obtain characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object, including: processing multiple frames of video images in the video to obtain change sequence data of the target object's posture key points; based on the change sequence data of the posture key points, the body posture of the target object is recognized, and the body posture includes any one of the following information: lying posture, sitting posture, posture in the process of changing from lying position to sitting position, standing posture, walking posture, falling out of bed posture or falling posture.
[0139] In some embodiments, multiple frames of video images in a video are processed to obtain change sequence data of posture key points of a target object, including: processing multiple frames of video images in a video to identify position data of posture key points of the target object corresponding to each frame of video image; recording position data of posture key points of each frame of video image in chronological order to obtain change sequence data of posture key points of the target object.
[0140] In some embodiments, identifying the body posture of the target object based on the change sequence data of the posture key points includes: inputting the change sequence data of the posture key points into a pre-trained recognition model for processing to identify the body posture of the target object.
[0141] In some embodiments, the plurality of pose keypoints includes a plurality of joint points for representing joints of the target object.
[0142] In some embodiments, the video is identified to obtain characteristic information reflecting the activity of the target object, and the method also includes: processing the video to identify a first positioning target frame corresponding to the target object and a second positioning target frame corresponding to the bed; and calculating the area of the first positioning target frame outside the second positioning target frame as the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed.
[0143] In some embodiments, identifying a video to obtain feature information reflecting the activity of a target object also includes: processing multiple frames of video images in the video to identify the target object in the multiple frames of video images; calculating a motion heat map corresponding to the target object in the multiple frames of video images; and calculating the center of mass position of the target object in the multiple frames of video images based on the position information of multiple pixel points in the motion heat map corresponding to the multiple frames of video images.
[0144] In some embodiments, calculating a motion heat map corresponding to a target object in a multi-frame video image includes: for a video image of a target frame in the multi-frame video image, performing the following steps: subtracting the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the video image of the target frame from the pixel values in the video image of its previous frame to obtain the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to multiple pixel points in the video image of the target frame; obtaining a frame difference image corresponding to the video image of the target frame based on the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the multiple pixel points; filtering the frame difference image to obtain a filtered frame difference image; setting the absolute values of the frame differences in the filtered frame difference image that are less than a preset frame difference threshold to 0 to obtain a motion heat map corresponding to the video image of the target frame.
[0145] In some embodiments, the center of mass position of the target object in the multi-frame video image is calculated based on the position information of multiple pixel points in the motion heat map corresponding to the multi-frame video image, including: multiplying the horizontal axis coordinate values and vertical axis values of the multiple pixel points in the motion heat map by their respective corresponding weights and then summing them to obtain the horizontal axis coordinate value and vertical axis coordinate value of the center of mass position of the target object, and the weights corresponding to the multiple pixel points in the motion heat map are the ratio between the absolute values of the frame differences corresponding to the multiple pixel points and the sum of the absolute values of the frame differences of all pixel points.
[0146] In some embodiments, the falling-out-of-bed prompt information includes at least one of the following prompt information: a schematic diagram of the key points of the posture when contacting the ground after falling out of bed, a schematic diagram of the key points of the posture when falling out of bed, a video screenshot of the falling out of bed, and a video within a preset time before and after the falling out of bed. By displaying these body postures representing the target object falling out of bed and displaying them on medical equipment, medical staff are assisted in making a quick judgment on the injury caused by falling out of bed.
[0147] In some embodiments, outputting the fall-out-from-bed prompt information includes: presenting the fall-out-from-bed prompt information in the form of text description and / or icon.
[0148] In some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to an operation instruction for the fall-out-of-bed prompt information, synchronously displaying a video within a preset time before and after the fall-out and a schematic diagram of key points of the posture during the fall-out, or a video within a preset time before and after the fall-out.
[0149] Furthermore, referring to FIG8 , the present application also provides a monitoring and prompting method 800 , which includes the following steps:
[0150] Step S810, obtaining the target object's video and risk level;
[0151] Step S820: Recognize the video to obtain characteristic information reflecting the target object's activity, the characteristic information at least including: the target object's body posture or position information;
[0152] Step S830: If the body posture is the first preset posture and the position information meets the first preset position condition, it is determined that the target subject has a tendency to leave the bed, and bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level is output;
[0153] The first preset position condition includes: the target object is located in the bed but moves toward the edge of the bed, and / or a part of the body area of the target object is located outside the edge of the bed.
[0154] When determining that the target subject has a tendency to leave the bed, the method of the present application outputs bed leaving prompt information corresponding to the risk level, so as to promptly prompt the target subject with the tendency to leave the bed, so that the target subject can get out of bed in a standardized manner according to the bed leaving prompt information or remind the target subject not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed due to the target subject's improper getting out of bed and improving the nursing management of the target subject.
[0155] Some details of the relevant steps in the embodiments of the present application can also be referred to the relevant description above and will not be described one by one here.
[0156] In some embodiments, the first preset posture includes a posture in the process of changing from a lying position to a sitting position.
[0157] In some embodiments, the partial body area of the target object is located outside the edge of the hospital bed means that the area of the target object outside the edge of the hospital bed is greater than a first preset threshold.
[0158] For example, when the risk level is level 1, the bed exit reminder message plays the following steps that the target subject should follow when getting out of bed. Patient education on getting out of bed is a key clinical measure to prevent falls. For example, reminding patients to follow the "three steps to getting out of bed": lying down for 30 seconds, sitting up for 30 seconds, and standing for 30 seconds can effectively prevent falls. These reminders can address the problem of poor compliance among many high-risk patients, who often ignore the correct steps of the "three steps" when getting out of bed, suddenly change their position, and thus fall out of bed.
[0159] Exemplarily, when the risk level is the second risk level, the bed leaving prompt information is: outputting an alarm message, wherein the risk level of the first risk level is lower than the risk level of the second risk level.
[0160] Exemplarily, obtaining the risk level of the target object includes: obtaining the risk level of the target object from an electronic medical record system; or
[0161] The risk level of the target object is obtained by receiving input information associated with the risk level of the target object.
[0162] Furthermore, referring to FIG9 , the present application also provides a monitoring and prompting method 900 , which includes the following steps:
[0163] Step S910, obtaining the video and risk level of the target object;
[0164] Step S920: Recognize the video to obtain feature information reflecting the target object's activity;
[0165] Step S930: determine whether the characteristic information meets at least one prompt condition corresponding to the risk level. If so, provide a prompt in a prompt manner corresponding to the prompt condition met by the characteristic information.
[0166] The method of the present application can promptly prompt a target subject who has a tendency to leave the bed, so that the target subject can get out of bed in a standardized manner according to the bed leaving prompt information or remind the target subject not to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falling out of bed due to the target subject's improper getting out of bed and improving the nursing management of the target subject.
[0167] Optionally, the characteristic information includes at least: the target object's body posture and the target object's position information relative to the bed, or other information that can be used to determine whether the target object has left the bed.
[0168] In some embodiments, at least one prompt condition includes: the body posture is a first preset posture and / or the position information meets the first preset position condition, and the first preset position condition includes: the target object is located in the bed but moves toward the edge of the bed, and / or, part of the target object's body area is already outside the edge of the bed. It is worth mentioning that there may also be different prompt conditions for target objects of different risk levels. For example, their first preset posture and / or first preset position conditions may be different. Usually, the prompt conditions corresponding to target objects with high risk levels are stricter than those corresponding to target objects with low risk levels. For example, it may trigger a prompt only when the target object has the first preset posture, or, part of the target object's body area is already outside the edge of the bed means that the area of the target object outside the edge of the bed is greater than the first preset threshold, then the first preset threshold corresponding to the target object with high risk level may be smaller than that of the target object with low risk level.
