Abstract: This disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for monitoring patients in a clinical setting by using non-contact multimodal imaging. For example, based on receiving imaging data, a computing device may identify an object and a region of focus formed by the object. The computing device may then cause a sensor to capture first sensor data at a first time and second sensor data at a second time, wherein the sensor data is associated with the region of focus. Based on determining that a difference between the first sensor data and the second sensor data is greater than or equal to a threshold difference, the computing device may generate and send, to an additional computing device, an alert indicative of the second sensor data.
