Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented and can include for instance: determining a location of interest; and obtaining image data from one or more camera device about the location of interest.

Obtaining camera device image data representing an event

A method, system and computer program product are provided. A computing system collects information related to a patient's preparation for a medical procedure and provides information regarding the medical procedure and a medical condition of the patient to at least one member of a medical procedure team. Data pertaining to performance of the medical procedure in an operating room is collected from multiple sensors. Progress of the medical procedure is monitored in real time by analyzing the collected data, a procedure reference library, and a physician history to determine a status of the medical procedure. A schedule of one or more subsequent medical procedures for the operating room is adjusted in real time based on the monitored progress. Notifications of the adjusted schedule may be transmitted to participants of the one or more subsequent medical procedures.

A floor operations automation system can include an intelligent video module, profiles, decision rules, and a decision module. The intelligent video module can be configured to generate video analytics data from video captured by video cameras within a retail location. The profiles can contain data that represents a business practice or policy of the retail location and/or user-specified preferences for decision-related variables. The decision rules can express actions to be performed in response to predefined conditions within the retail location. The decision module can be configured to decide upon action to be performed, based upon the video analytics data, the profiles, and the decision rules. The decision can be made without direct input from a human agent of the retail location. The actions can affect a business system and/or a human agent associated with the retail location.

In an approach to determine performance information of a target item operating under a particular set of context information, a method, in response to receiving a request for performance information of a target item, and operating with a first computing device, identifies context information of the first computing device. The method determines whether a knowledge base includes a response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item operating within context information similar to the first computing device. The method, in response to determining that the knowledge base includes the response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item, sends the performance information to the first computing device, and initiates a communication channel between the first computing device and a second computing device operating the target item and having similar context information of the first computing device.

Assisted smart device context performance information retrieval

Systems and tools for sharing medical costs between prospective patients seeking treatment, and existing patients of a medical network. Prospective patients may actively query medical costs for specific conditions and treatments for the specific conditions previously experienced by existing patients. Existing patients contributing to the documents accessible by the medical network may upload anonymous versions of EOBs, medical bills and medical documents to the medical network in exchange for rewards. The prospective patients may communicate and query the desired information using natural language inputs to instruct a client computing system to search the medical network for relevant treatment information. The prospective patient may use natural language commands or other inputs to filter the query results by condition, location, cost, quality of service, service provider, insurance provider, or any other parameter that may be detailed by the medical documents accessible through the medical network.

A method for monitoring safety conditions within an environment includes monitoring an environment by identifying one or more users accessing the environment based on existing and generic profiles selected based on visual recognition and analysis techniques, and consensually monitoring activity within the environment. A context of a situation of the one or more users accessing the environment is determined, based on a set of predetermined rules tailored to the environment, identified users of the one or more users, and monitoring data from monitoring the activity of the one or more users within the environment. Responsive to determining the context of the situation within the environment is an unsafe, based on the monitoring data and the set of predetermined rules, a mitigating action is selected from a set of mitigating actions corresponding to the determined context of the situation, and the mitigating action that is selected is automatically deployed.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for cognitive vetting is provided. The present invention may include determining that an identified person is not expected. The present invention may include retrieving historical information relevant to a past interaction with the identified person. The present invention may then include enabling a present interaction with the identified person. The present invention may lastly include determining a recommendation based on an analysis of the retrieved historical information and the present interaction.

One or more processors receive recording data of a meeting between a professional and a client. One or more processors analyze the recording data to make one or more determinations. One or more processors identify one or more characteristics of the professional based on the one or more determinations. One or more processors match the one or more characteristics of the professional to one or more preferences of an individual seeking one or more professionals. One or more processors build a profile of the professional based on the one or more characteristics and store the profile in a database. One or more processors search the database for one or more profiles that provide a match of the one or more preferences of the individual seeking one or more professionals and display the one or more profiles.

Analysis of professional-client interactions

A method for electronically providing targeted messages can begin when a source-concealing targeted messaging system receives data items provided by a source user that define a targeted message that is to be presented within a social media context. The data items can include a set of recipients, a message body, and a set of trigger conditions indicating when the targeted message is to be presented to the recipients. The recipients can be members of a contact list of the source user within the social media system providing the social media context. Satisfaction of the trigger conditions can be monitored and the social media system can be monitored recipients. When the trigger conditions are satisfied and a recipient is currently using the social media system, the targeted message can be presented within a user interface of the social media system, such that the source user appears unaffiliated with the targeted message.
