Abstract

The present invention discloses a wireless augmented multi camera video system and method for remote and mobile application and necessary to the collection and processing of geospatial, thermodynamic, biomechanical and biometric data need to monitor a caregiver and their actions and movements in a plurality of patient location; the collected data is encrypted then embedded in an augmented audio and visual compressed binary stream transmitted in real time to detect and provide actionable intelligence supported by verifiable empirical sensor evidence of possible medical insurance billing fraud, drug or other theft and elder patient or child abuse by the caregivers. The wireless augmented system comprises; a wireless augmented monitoring devices, a cloud system monitoring center, a caregiver employing agency, a caregiver and a person in need of care. The wireless wearable augmented monitoring devices further includes a smart wearable nametag apparatus and smart wearable wristband which are configured to receive the video data, biometric and other sensor data, and location information of the caregiver to generate augmented video stream by periodically marking the video data with contemporaneous location information and sensor data; and a wireless cellular transceiver configured within the nametag apparatus to automatically stream the augmented video stream in response to an event detected via at least one of the one or more sensors or in response to a determined location, embedded in captured audio and video data are time stamps, the home health care agency operator'"'"'s unique user identification number [UUID], the unique user biometric identification number [UUBID] of the current user, the GPS data, and the sensor data. The nametag apparatus also incorporates a memory element to buffer the augmented data prior to transmission, a SIM card to connect to any available data cellular network, a Bluetooth to connect peripheral devices, a Wi-Fi component, color LCD screen for displaying current caregiver'"'"'s name and photograph on the name tag, and LED power status display, a microphone, speaker and a micro USB port.
