Remote vision-based digital patient monitoring of pulse and respiratory rates in acute medical wards

Remote Vision-Based digital Patient Monitoring (VBPM) of pulse (PR) and respiratory rate (RR) was set up in six single rooms in an acute medical and an orthopaedic ward. We compared 102 PR and 154 RR VBPM measurements (from 27 patients) with paired routine nurse measurements. VBPM measurements of RR were validated by reviewing video footage. Nurse measurements of RR were often 16-18 breaths/minute, and did not match VBPM RR (overestimating at low RR and underestimating at high RR). Nurse measurements of pulse were on average 3.9 beats per minute greater than matched VBPM measurements. VBPM was unobtrusive and well accepted.

Abstract

Remote Vision-Based digital Patient Monitoring (VBPM) of pulse (PR) and respiratory rate (RR) was set up in six single rooms in an acute medical and an orthopaedic ward. We compared 102 PR and 154 RR VBPM measurements (from 27 patients) with paired routine nurse measurements. VBPM measurements of RR were validated by reviewing video footage. Nurse measurements of RR were often 16-18 breaths/minute, and did not match VBPM RR (overestimating at low RR and underestimating at high RR). Nurse measurements of pulse were on average 3.9 beats per minute greater than matched VBPM measurements. VBPM was unobtrusive and well accepted.
