Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and patient monitoring devices that may be utilized to overcome technical limitations associated with conventional nurse call devices. According to an aspect, a patient monitoring device includes one or more of: a microphone, a speaker, a sensor array that includes a radar sensor for detecting one or more of a physiological condition and a movement of a patient, a wireless interface, a processor, and memory. According to an aspect, the memory stores executable instructions which, when executed, upon detection of a sound with the microphone, transmit, via the wireless interface, a signal associated with the sound to a server to process the signal with a voice recognition algorithm. The server is configured to provide a communication to notify a caregiver assigned to the patient when an output from the voice recognition algorithm is determinative of the sound requiring the caregiver to interact with the patient.
