• Abstract summary: The behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, such as agitation and aggression, present a significant health and safety risk in residential care settings. Care facilities have video cameras in place for digital monitoring of public spaces, which can be leveraged to develop an automated behaviours of risk detection system. One of the challenges in our previous study was the presence of false alarms due to disparate importance of events based on distance. We proposed a novel depth-weighted loss to enforce equivalent importance to the events happening both near and far from the cameras.

• Abstract: The behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, such as agitation and aggression, present a significant health and safety risk in residential care settings. Many care facilities have video cameras in place for digital monitoring of public spaces, which can be leveraged to develop an automated behaviours of risk detection system that can alert the staff to enable timely intervention and prevent the situation from escalating. However, one of the challenges in our previous study was the presence of false alarms due to disparate importance of events based on distance. To address this issue, we proposed a novel depth-weighted loss to enforce equivalent importance to the events happening both near and far from the cameras; thus, helping to reduce false alarms. We further propose to utilize the training outliers to determine the anomaly threshold. The data from nine dementia participants across three cameras in a specialized dementia unit were used for training. The proposed approach obtained the best area under receiver operating characteristic curve performance of 0.852, 0.81 and 0.768, respectively, for the three cameras. Ablation analysis was conducted for the individual components of the proposed approach and effect of frame size and frame rate. The performance of the proposed approach was investigated for cross-camera, participant-specific and sex-specific behaviours of risk detection. The proposed approach performed reasonably well in reducing false alarms. This motivates further research to make the system more suitable for deployment in care facilities.

  We present two novel privacy-protecting video-based anomaly detection approaches to detect behaviours of risks in people with dementia. We either extracted body pose information as skeletons and use semantic segmentation masks to replace multiple humans in the scene with their semantic boundaries. This is one of the first studies to incorporate privacy for the detection of behaviours of risks in people with dementia.

  Inpatient falls are a serious safety issue in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Recent advances in video analytics for patient monitoring provide a non-intrusive avenue to reduce this risk through continuous activity monitoring. Here, we propose a video-based system that can monitor the risk of a patient falling, and alert staff of unsafe behaviour to help prevent falls before they occur.
