Abstract
A method for monitoring a patient in a bed may involve capturing images of the patient with multiple cameras in a vicinity of the bed, wirelessly transmitting the images of the patient from the multiple cameras to a processor including a memory device, processing the images to provide processed image data pertaining to a position of the patient relative to the bed to a user, and analyzing the processed image data to determine whether the patient is exiting the bed. The method may also optionally involve providing an alarm indicating that the patient is exiting the bed.
