Popis: Throughout a patient’s stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), accurate measurement of patient mobility, as part of routine care, is helpful in understanding the harmful effects of bedrest [1]. However, mobility is typically measured through observation by a trained and dedicated observer, which is extremely limiting. In this work, we present a video-based automated mobility measurement system called NIMS: Non-Invasive Mobility Sensor. Our main contributions are: (1) a novel multi-person tracking methodology designed for complex environments with occlusion and pose variations, and (2) an application of human-activity attributes in a clinical setting. We demonstrate NIMS on data collected from an active patient room in an adult ICU and show a high inter-rater reliability using a weighted Kappa statistic of 0.86 for automatic prediction of the highest level of patient mobility as compared to clinical experts.
