• Abstract summary: Existing patient assessments in the ICU are mostly sporadic and administered manually. We developed a new "masked loss computation" technique that addresses the data imbalance problem. We performed AU inference on 634,054 frames to evaluate the association between facial AUs and clinically important patient conditions.

• Abstract: Intensive Care Units (ICU) provide close supervision and continuous care to patients with life-threatening conditions. However, continuous patient assessment in the ICU is still limited due to time constraints and the workload on healthcare providers. Existing patient assessments in the ICU such as pain or mobility assessment are mostly sporadic and administered manually, thus introducing the potential for human errors. Developing Artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can augment human assessments in the ICU can be beneficial for providing more objective and granular monitoring capabilities. For example, capturing the variations in a patient's facial cues related to pain or agitation can help in adjusting pain-related medications or detecting agitation-inducing conditions such as delirium. Additionally, subtle changes in visual cues during or prior to adverse clinical events could potentially aid in continuous patient monitoring when combined with high-resolution physiological signals and Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. In this paper, we examined the association between visual cues and patient condition including acuity status, acute brain dysfunction, and pain. We leveraged our AU-ICU dataset with 107,064 frames collected in the ICU annotated with facial action units (AUs) labels by trained annotators. We developed a new "masked loss computation" technique that addresses the data imbalance problem by maximizing data resource utilization. We trained the model using our AU-ICU dataset in conjunction with three external datasets to detect 18 AUs. The SWIN Transformer model achieved 0.57 mean F1-score and 0.89 mean accuracy on the test set. Additionally, we performed AU inference on 634,054 frames to evaluate the association between facial AUs and clinically important patient conditions such as acuity status, acute brain dysfunction, and pain.

  We leverage a state-of-the-art noninvasive computer vision system based on depth imaging to characterize ICU visitations and patients' mobility. We found an association between deteriorating patient acuity and the incidence of delirium with increased visitations. Our findings highlight the feasibility and potential of using noninvasive autonomous systems to monitor ICU patients.

  Acuity assessments are vital in critical care settings to provide timely interventions and fair resource allocation. Traditional acuity scores do not incorporate granular information such as patients' mobility level, which can indicate recovery or deterioration in the ICU. In this study, we evaluated the impact of integrating mobility data collected from wrist-worn accelerometers with clinical data obtained from EHR for developing an AI-driven acuity assessment score.

  The intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized hospital space where critically ill patients receive intensive care and monitoring. Comprehensive monitoring is imperative in assessing patients conditions, in particular acuity, and ultimately the quality of care. Currently, visual assessments for acuity, including fine details such as facial expressions, posture, and mobility, are sporadically captured, or not captured at all.
