AI Cameras in the Medical Field

Quality patient care now goes way beyond medical treatment.  Security and safety are steadfastly becoming a high priority in the arena of patient care.  AI Cameras can help improve medical facility security in four fundamental areas:  Patient safety, patient privacy, rapid response, and overall hospital safety. 

4 Ways AI Security Cameras Benefit Hospitals and Patients

1) Patient Safety  

AI cameras are instrumental in protecting patients and help to mitigate patient risk.  Patient-fall incidents account for a substantial portion of lawsuits against hospitals which contributes to the rising cost of healthcare.  In fact, 700,000 – one million of admitted patients fall in hospitals on a yearly basis and the injuries average more than $14,000 per patient.  (15 Oct. 2020 Web.  Marketscale.com>healthcare).  AI camera technology helps to mitigate patient risk so that fall injuries are immediately reported and often prevented.  

2) Patient Privacy

There are tremendous legal implications pertaining to the breach and exposure of medical information.  HIPAA Law is clear about sharing patient information to anyone other than medical staff without patient permission.  Patient information is always vulnerable due to its presence in so many areas:  Computer screens, laptops, mobile phones, patient care boards, and a plethora of mobile medical devices that consistently travel throughout the hospital. 

With advanced AI cameral technology, Administrators can monitor compromised locations and ensure that approved staff only sees vital medical information.  AI cameras have extraordinary encryption technology for all health information segments. Most importantly, they have sophisticated security settings and video storage features.  

3) Rapid Response

Medical staff can’t be everywhere at once, but intelligent AI cameras can evaluate hazardous events like unusual patient movements prior to a fall and get help from staff immediately. If a patient needs to have restricted exposure to visitors, AI cameras can trigger an alert when there are more than 3 people in a room. Sensitive areas can be “blacked out” in the video feed for privacy. 

4) Hospital Security

 General medical facility security is a major concern as crowded hospitals strive to keep patients, families, visitors, and staff safe.  Fortunately, AI cameras have unique and reliable features for excellent surveillance and video storage.  These intelligent cameras can capture footage of the following areas:  All entrances & exits, elevators, fire escapes, restricted areas, and storage facilities.  This capability enables medical staff to quickly access incidents before real danger occurs.  With AI camera technology, video footage can be saved for 120 days with unlimited cloud archiving. 

NeuroCam Leads in AI-Enhanced Security Cameras

Health organizations face daunting challenges due to staff shortages and an increase in patients due to COVID-19.  As violent events become more common in the U.S., the medical community is turning to advanced AI technology as security measures are becoming a top priority.  AI cameras are leading the way with stellar capabilities as they help to keep hospitals safe, protect health information, and direct help to where it is needed right away.
