British scientists have created a sophisticated new web camera that could revolutionise how patients are monitored – doing away with routine ward rounds.
It is not connected to the patient but fixed above the bed where it records the way light waves bounce off the patient’s skin and tiny movements made as the patient breathes.
Computer software analyses the images and converts it into clinical measurements such as pulse rate, blood oxygen levels and respiratory rates.
Nurses may no longer have to do the rounds with the invention of revolutionary new patient-monitoring cameras
This is transmitted to the nurses’ monitoring station, and could be accessed by doctors anywhere on a mobile device.
Trials have shown the measurements are as accurate as those taken by nurses or NHS equipment.
