Patent number: 11570421Abstract: A system and a method are described for monitoring a medical care environment. In one or more implementations, a method includes identifying a first subset of pixels within a field of view of a camera as representing a bed. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a subject, such as a patient, medical personnel; bed; chair; patient tray; medical equipment; etc.) proximal to the bed. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object within the bed.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Ocuvera, LLCInventors: Benjamin D. Rush, Joshua M. Brown-Kramer, Lucas A. Sabalka, Brian S. Gansemer, Clay T. Upton, Paul B. Bauer, Andrew R. Unterseher, Benjamin J. Origas, Douglas W. Durham

Patent number: 10600204Abstract: A system and a method are described for preventing pressure ulcers in a medical care environment by monitoring adherence to a pressure ulcer prevention protocol. The method also includes identifying a first subset of pixels from the plurality of potential locations as representing a bed and/or a seating platform. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a subject, such as a patient, medical personnel; bed; chair; patient tray; medical equipment; etc.) proximal to the bed and/or seating platform. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object with respect to the bed and/or seating platform, and determining changes in the orientation and/or position of the object over a period of time. In implementations, the method further includes issuing an electronic communication alert based upon the determined orientation and/or position of the object over the period of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: OcuveraInventors: Benjamin D. Rush, Joshua M. Brown-Kramer, Lucas A. Sabalka, Brian S. Gansemer, Clay T. Upton, Paul B. Bauer, Andrew R. Unterseher, Benjamin J. Origas, Douglas W. Durham

Patent number: 10489661Abstract: A system and a method are described for monitoring a medical care environment. In one or more implementations, a method includes identifying a first subset of pixels within a field of view of a camera as representing a bed. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a patient) proximal to the bed. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object within the bed. In implementations, the method further includes issuing an electronic communication notification directing a user to view a display monitor associated with the object based upon the orientation of the object. In some implementations, the method further includes breaking out a particular portion of the display associated with the object. In some implementations, the method also includes determining whether to issue future notifications based upon feedback to the notification.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Ocuvera LLCInventors: Benjamin D. Rush, Joshua M. Brown-Kramer, Lucas A. Sabalka, Brian S. Gansemer, Paul B. Bauer, Andrew R. Unterseher, Benjamin J. Origas, Douglas W. Durham, Tony R. Wilsman

Patent number: 10475206Abstract: A system and a method are described for identifying (e.g., parsing images) images pertaining to an event. The method also includes identifying a first subset of pixels from the plurality of potential locations as representing a bed and/or a seating platform. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object proximal to the bed and/or seating platform. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object with respect to the bed and/or seating platform, and determining changes in the orientation and/or position of the object over a period of time. In implementations, the method further includes generating state data pertaining to an event and associating the state data with corresponding image frame data.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: OcuveraInventors: Benjamin D. Rush, Joshua M. Brown-Kramer, Lucas A. Sabalka, Brian S. Gansemer, Clay T. Upton, Paul B. Bauer, Andrew R. Unterseher, Benjamin J. Origas, Douglas W. Durham
