Gesture Controlled Monitor Improves Intensive Care

Gesture Controlled Monitor Improves Intensive Care
Feb-04-16
Researchers at Fraunhofer have created a 3D vision “proxemics monitor” that can serve as a central information point for connected medical devices in the intensive care.

While increasing technology has brought a boon of helpful devices to the hospital setting, they have also added to the number of monitors and displays that need to be kept track of. Developed to help ease the stress of monitoring several devices during a hectic medical emergency, the team from Fraunhofer created the proxemics monitor, and hands-free, smart information display system. With help from a Kinect 3D camera, the system allows for hands-free, gestural control, and will even adjust its display size depending upon the viewer’s distance from the screen. The system will also reduce the number of false alarms, which are a serious problem in intensive care patients.
