Abstract
A system and a method are described for monitoring a medical care environment. In one or more implementations, a method includes identifying a first subset of pixels within a field of view of a camera as representing a bed. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a patient) proximal to the bed. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object within the bed. In implementations, the method further includes issuing an electronic communication notification directing a user to view a display monitor associated with the object based upon the orientation of the object. In some implementations, the method further includes breaking out a particular portion of the display associated with the object. In some implementations, the method also includes determining whether to issue future notifications based upon feedback to the notification.
