  • Publication number: 20240095938
    Abstract: A system comprises a computer including one or more processors and memory. The memory includes instructions such that the one or more processors are programmed to receive at least one of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) image data or infrared (IR) image data from one or more cameras communicatively connected to the one or more processors, where the RGB image data and the IR image data represents an environment including at least one individual disposed along a support surface. The one or more processors receive annotated depth image data that corresponds to the RGB image data and the IR image data. The one or more processors train a neural network with at least one of the RGB image data and the IR image data corresponding to the annotated depth image data, where the neural network is trained to predict when the individual is exiting the support surface.

  • Patent number: 8388348
    Abstract: There are provided a method, system and medium having instructions embedded to determine an attribute of a simulated patient's state resulting from a patient-physician encounter. The method includes receiving a current treatment move and an initial value of the attribute; calculating a maximal expected incremental effect value of the current treatment move over a previous treatment move on the attribute; attenuating the maximal expected incremental effect value based on amount of time between the previous treatment move and the current treatment move; summing the attenuated maximal expected incremental effect value with the initial value to generate an updated attribute of the simulated patient's state; and generating a patient-physician encounter that includes the updated attribute.

  • Publication number: 20060292535
    Abstract: A method of dynamically simulating a physician assessment and teaching environment for treatment of a chronic illness is provided. The method includes providing a library of patient cases histories, selecting a patient case history from the library of patient case histories, providing a treatment action in response to the particular patient case history selected, and providing a projection of the patient's future clinical status based upon the treatment action provided.
