AI System to Monitor Patient Safety Introduced in Russia
The service alerts staff to everything happening in a hospital ward
An intelligent video monitoring system called Tretye Mnenie (Third Opinion) has been introduced at Yegoryevsk Hospital in the Moscow region, according to the regional Ministry of Health.
The AI-based system continuously monitors patients in the intensive care unit around the clock. The service alerts medical staff to critical events. Its algorithms recognize a range of scenarios, including attempts by patients to get up and potential fall risks, delayed reactions when recovering from anesthesia, signs of tremor and increased motor activity, and the disconnection of catheters or life-support equipment.
Reduce Workload for Medical Staff
The system also tracks whether medical instructions are followed and whether visitation rules are observed. If necessary, a privacy mode can be activated that blurs the image or automatically shuts the camera. The AI monitoring system has been integrated into the hospital’s medical information system.
