• Abstract summary: We propose a novel method to estimate patient motion and observe clinical workload using a similar technical setup. Patient motion estimation was used to approximate patient agitation and sedation, while worker motion was used as a surrogate for caregiver workload.

• Abstract: Contactless monitoring using thermal imaging has become increasingly proposed to monitor patient deterioration in hospital, most recently to detect fevers and infections during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this letter, we propose a novel method to estimate patient motion and observe clinical workload using a similar technical setup but combined with open source object detection algorithms (YOLOv4) and optical flow. Patient motion estimation was used to approximate patient agitation and sedation, while worker motion was used as a surrogate for caregiver workload. Performance was illustrated by comparing over 32000 frames from videos of patients recorded in an Intensive Care Unit, to clinical agitation scores recorded by clinical workers.

  We introduce a self-supervised deep learning architecture to segment catheters in longitudinal ultrasound images. The network architecture builds upon AiAReSeg, a segmentation transformer built with the Attention in Attention mechanism. We validated our model on a test dataset, consisting of unseen synthetic data and images collected from silicon aorta phantoms.

  Currently, most studies employ wearable eye-tracking technologies to analyze anesthesiologists' visual patterns. By utilizing a novel eye-tracking method in the form of deep learning models that process monitor-mounted webcams, we collected continuous behavioral data. We distinguished between baseline VA distribution during uneventful periods to patterns associated with active phases or during critical, unanticipated incidents.

• Classifying the evolution of COVID-19 severity on patients with combined dynamic Bayesian networks and neural networks [1.9766522384767222]
  Knowing beforehand the severity of a patients illness can improve its treatment and the organization of resources. We illustrate this issue in a dataset consistent of Spanish COVID-19 patients from the sixth epidemic wave. We combine the use of dynamic Bayesian networks, to forecast the vital signs and the blood analysis results of patients over the next 40 hours, and neural networks, to evaluate the severity of a patients disease in that interval of time.

  It is important that the patient discharge task addresses the nuanced trade-off between decreasing a patient's length of stay and the risk of readmission or even death following the discharge decision. This work introduces an end-to-end general framework for capturing this trade-off to recommend optimal discharge timing decisions. A data-driven approach is used to derive a parsimonious, discrete state space representation that captures a patient's physiological condition.
