Lecture Abstract
Current methods of patient monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) often require electrodes to be placed on fragile newborn skin. Professor James Green and his team are working with CHEO and IBM to examine two novel non-contact sensor technologies: pressure-sensitive mats below the patient and multi-modal video from above. To date, the team has collected data from nearly 30 patients in the CHEO NICU, including sensor data, gold standard physiologic streaming data, and manually captured clinical event annotations, and are now developing machine learning and signal processing algorithms to use the sensor data to estimate patient vital signs, to recognize clinical interventions, and to detect motion-related artifacts. This talk will describe our research and results thus far.
