Detecting demeanor for healthcare with machine learning

This paper describes a new prototype system for detecting the demeanor of patients in emergency situations using the Intel RealSense camera system [1]. It describes how machine learning, a support vector machine (SVM) and the RealSense facial detection system can be used to track patient demeanour for pain monitoring. In a lab setting, the application has been trained to detect four different intensities of pain and provide demeanour information about the patient's eyes, mouth, and agitation state. Its utility as a basis for evaluating the condition of patients in situations using video, machine learning and 5G technology is discussed.
