A method, an apparatus and a computer program for capturing optical image data of patient surroundings and for identifying a patient check-up. The method () for capturing optical image data of patient surroundings and for identifying a patient check-up on the basis of the image data includes detecting () the patient on the basis of the image data. There is a detecting () of at least one further person on the basis of the image data and determining () at least one geometric relation between the patient and the at least one further person. The determining () of the geometric relation includes determining an orientation or a viewing direction of the at least one further person in relation to the patient. The method further includes identifying () the patient check-up on the basis of the geometric relation.

A medical device arrangement () tests processing of data sets to be processed during operation of the medical device arrangement. The arrangement includes a data interface (), analysis modules () and a test module (). The analysis modules process a received medical data set (). Each analysis module () forms a processing instance () for the medical data set or for the medical data set (') already preprocessed by at least one other analysis module. The test module outputs a test data set () to one of the analysis modules during operation such that this analysis module processes the test data set in the same manner as the medical data set. The test module compares a correspondingly outputted, processed test data set () with a reference result () associated with the test data set and determines a test result () based on this comparison.

A system () detects hazardous situations in a medical setting. A sensor unit () has optical sensors () to determine a sensor signal (), and to output same in real time, which includes sensor data indicating a sequence of three-dimensional views of a monitored area () over a monitoring time. A processor unit () identifies a number of objects () to be protected based on the three-dimensional views, detects hazardous objects () based on the three-dimensional views, determines a number of object pairs (), monitors positions of the protected objects and hazardous objects of the object pair over the monitoring time, assigns hazard values to the object pairs, calculates current hazard values for object pairs up to a current time over an analysis time interval and outputs a corresponding alarm signal () if a calculated hazard exceeds a threshold value. An output unit () triggers an alarm.
