Systems and methods for three-dimensional interaction monitoring in an EMS environment
First Claim
1. A method for gesture recognition in an emergency response environment, the method comprising:
- receiving visual information about at least a portion of a body of a caregiver providing care for a patient from at least one sensor, wherein the caregiver is an emergency medical services provider;
maintaining or creating an emergency encounter record for the patient;
monitoring the visual information to determine movements of the at least the portion of the body of the caregiver;
recognizing an occurrence of a gesture based on the movements of the at least the portion of the body of the caregiver;
determining that the gesture belongs to one gesture type of a plurality of gesture types; and
recording an entry comprising a physiological parameter of the patient in the emergency encounter record based on the occurrence of the gesture, wherein the entry recorded depends on the determined gesture type, and the entry comprises at least one of a heart rate, a blood pressure, an electrocardiograph (ECG), a temperature, a respiration rate, a blood oxygen level, an end-tidal carbon dioxide level, a pulmonary function, a blood glucose level, and a weight;
wherein the emergency response environment is an emergency response vehicle.

Abstract
A method for tracking interactions in an emergency response environment according to embodiments of the present invention includes receiving color images and depth information from within a field of view of a sensor array; maintaining an emergency encounter record; monitoring one or both of a position of an object and movement of the object in the emergency response environment based on the color images and depth information received by the sensor array; and recording an occurrence of a condition in the emergency encounter record, wherein the condition is based on the one or both of the position of the object and the movement of the object.

18. A system for gesture recognition in an emergency response environment, the system comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to receive visual information about at least a portion of a body of a caregiver providing care to a patient, wherein the caregiver is an emergency medical services provider; and a control system communicably coupled to the at least one sensor, the control system configured to; maintain or create an emergency encounter record for the patient; monitor the visual information to determine movements of the at least the portion of the body of the caregiver; recognize an occurrence of a gesture based on the movements of the at least the portion of the body of the caregiver; determine that the gesture belongs to one gesture type of a plurality of gesture types; and record an entry comprising a physiological parameter of the patient in the emergency encounter record based on the occurrence of the gesture, wherein the entry recorded depends on the determined gesture type, and the entry comprises at least one of a heart rate, a blood pressure, an electrocardiograph (ECG), a temperature, a respiration rate, a blood oxygen level, an end-tidal carbon dioxide level, a pulmonary function, a blood glucose level, and a weight; wherein the emergency response environment is an emergency response vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 24)
