“The norm is to stick electrodes on children to measure heart rates,” says Chahl, the project’s supervisor. “Without any ill-intention, sometimes doctors in developing countries would reuse these electrodes due to a shortage of instruments”—a move, he says, that led to infection control problems.

Other possible applications include monitoring the vital signs of residents in nursing homes. “The drones don’t need to capture what you’re doing,” Chahl says. “The image processing system can simply produce the variables of heart and breathing rate without having to see patients at all or invade their privacy.”

“There may also be situations in clinical settings where you wouldn’t really think it’s worth having electrodes and instruments to monitor patients—but if you can just have a camera do it, you may be able to put instrumentation where you wouldn’t normally put it,” Chahl adds.

The drone technology detects heart and breathing rates as accurately as standard heart monitors using a stabilized Go-Pro camera. Advanced image-processing systems then assess the video footage collected on the device and extract the heart and respiratory rates of the person without difficulty.

Chahl says that although the drone technologies were capable of monitoring several people in uncontrolled environments, the first goal was to pursue the initial aim of eliminating infection in neonatal subjects.

“The work with the neonatal subjects is something we are just going through the process of now,” he says. “It is quite involved and there’s quite a lot of ethics to consider with filming and measuring information from babies, but there are a lot of potential benefits for neonatal care worldwide. Our current challenge is to get the original plan of neonatal instrumentation working well.”

Using Live View Panel, clinicians can customize multiple electroencephalography (EEG) or polysomnography (PSG) acquisition systems to gather data critical for each monitored patient. The information is displayed on a single, interactive control screen, with one-click access to clinically relevant information to help speed interpretation and improve outcomes.

According to the company, its goal is to facilitate integrated care delivery so that patients receive high-quality care regardless of their physical location. With Live View Panel, physicians in the neuroscience community can connect directly to patients wherever they are, improving access, and enhancing safety and clinician workflow.

Developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, the Live View Panel is comprised of a control screen and several adjacent data display screens. The control screen organizes patient information into color-coded “cards” based on variables such as patient location, acuity level, physician, or data modality, allowing a clinician to monitor basic parameters of multiple patients simultaneously. With one touch to any card, clinicians can access more detailed patient-specific data on an adjacent screen. The cards can also be rearranged via drag and drop to suit clinician preference and workflow.

Data in the EEG cards includes patient identifier, location field, monitoring status, heart rate, saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2), as well as seizure count and seizure trend. PSG cards display apnea-hypopnea index, total sleep time, body position, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and heart rate, SpO2 and sleep state with trend options. Audio and video can be played or displayed remotely from either acquisition system. Key information can also be provided on a Live View Panel at the local nurse’s station for additional oversight.
