Healthcare facilities are increasingly turning to advanced surveillance technologies to bolster protection and improve operational visibility. Hospitals are now leaning toward on-camera edge AI analytics. Most modern edge analytics are faster, more robust and don’t require expensive licensing, which lowers the total cost of hospitals.
More hospitals are feeding analytics into a business intelligence (BI) software application. They can determine how many people entered through a specific door on a particular day, how many people are in line at the emergency room or how many people drove the wrong way in front of the main entrance. These applications can deliver granular data to medical teams such as how often a patient tries to get out of bed or how long a tray of food has been in front of a patient.
Security cameras have evolved from being passive tools to becoming proactive business solutions providing rich, actionable data that can be visualized and used for operations or planning. Machine learning, AI and advanced video analytics have matured to much higher levels of accuracy and precision, and multiple applications leverage analytics to help hospitals solve problems and generate return on investment.
