Abstract: A system for monitoring sepsis in a healthcare facility. The system calculates sepsis scores for a patient using physiological parameter data captured by one or more sensors. The system generates a sepsis score trend based on the sepsis scores, and generates a predicted sepsis trend based on the sepsis scores and a treatment administered to the patient. The system displays the predicted sepsis trend over the sepsis score trend. The system can further display a summary including a sepsis status and a treatment status for a plurality of patients in the healthcare facility.

The optical component configured to measure a vascular endothelial response from the induced temperature change.

Abstract: A device for conducting a telehealth consultation. The device receives a video feed of a patient environment, and recognizes a local device in the video feed of the patient environment. The device detects an input directed to the local device, generates a control command based on the input, and sends the control command to the local device. The control command causes the local device to perform an action during the telehealth consultation.

Abstract: A system for providing telehealth consultations. The system includes a display device located in a patient environment, and a camera operatively connected to the display device. The camera is configured to capture a video stream of the patient environment. The system includes a telehealth device remotely located with respect to the patient environment. The telehealth device initiates a telehealth consultation on the display device. The telehealth device causes the camera to adjust the video stream of the patient environment during the telehealth consultation.

Abstract: A method of remote monitoring a patient includes monitoring the patient under a first modality that blocks identification of the patient. The method includes determining whether an event is detected by the first modality. When an event is detected, the method includes monitoring the patient under a second modality, which is different from the first modality and includes capturing images of the patient.

Abstract: A care delivery system detects an event from one or more sensors. The event indicates a safety risk to a patient in a first location. The system determines a clinical workflow based on the safety risk, and one or more rules defined by a healthcare facility in a second location remote from the first location. The system initiates a telehealth consultation based on the clinical workflow. The telehealth consultation includes the patient and a first caregiver in the second location. The system generates an alert identifying the safety risk, and routes the alert to a second caregiver based on the clinical workflow.
