  • Patent number: 11638538
    Abstract: A system for fall prevention includes a platform for supporting a patient, the platform including rails and rail sensors, an image capturing device for capturing images of the patient, a patient monitor for interactive communication with the patient, a health monitoring station for receiving rail sensor data and communicating with the patient monitor, and an edge network device co-located with the platform and communicating with the station and the image capturing device. The edge network device receives image data from the image capturing device when the rail sensors indicate that the rail is down and the patient is at risk to themselves, anonymizes the image data to generate a skeleton image, determines a posture associated with the skeleton image, triggers alerts at the station when the patient is predicted to be sitting, and triggers escalated alerts at the station when the patient is predicted to be standing.

  • Patent number: 11640710
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a weakly supervised action localization model are provided. Example models according to example aspects of the present disclosure can localize and/or classify actions in untrimmed videos using machine-learned models, such as convolutional neural networks. The example models can predict temporal intervals of human actions given video-level class labels with no requirement of temporal localization information of actions. The example models can recognize actions and identify a sparse set of keyframes associated with actions through adaptive temporal pooling of video frames, wherein the loss function of the model is composed of a classification error and a sparsity of frame selection. Following action recognition with sparse keyframe attention, temporal proposals for action can be extracted using temporal class activation mappings, and final time intervals can be estimated corresponding to target actions.
