Project Summary
Overview
This device successfully detects various signs of infection including redness, pus, blood, or combinations of the three using AI technology. The graphical interface changes color and displays a warning message based on the sign detected.
Objectives
– Develop a system to continuously monitor a central line dressing site and detect if detect signs of infection.
– Device should be easily movable.
– Alert an ICU nurse if signs of infection present.
– Assist nurses in patient monitoring.
Approach
Created a code that detects various signs of infection including redness, pus, blood, or combinations of the three.
