Reducing false alarms in vital sign monitoring of neonates
by creation of novel sensor technologies. | |
NewBornCare is mainly about the integration
of pulse-oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy for monitoring of neonatal
brain oxygenation to improve quality of alarm decisions in vital signs
monitoring. Additionally, advanced video processing tools are employed for face
tracking, segmentation and image enhancement to provide for estimates of heart-
and respiratory rate in a non-contact manner. The preliminary results show that
a significant reduction of the false alarms can be achieved by employment of
machine learning on the fused data from the above-mentioned sources.
