Explainable Early Patient Deterioration

See it before it becomes an emergency.

EEPD is a wearable ward monitor with edge AI. It watches every patient's vitals around the clock and tells nurses, in plain words, why a patient's risk is rising.

The problem

On general wards, deterioration is noticed too late.

Late intervention means more ICU admissions, higher mortality and a heavier load on hospitals. Manual checks every few hours cannot keep pace with today's wards.

Next round
Between rounds, SpO₂ slides from 98% to 90% while heart rate climbs. EEPD flags the trend at 09:40. On manual checks alone, the next look is at noon.

Nurses can't watch every bed

One nurse covers many patients. Between rounds, a slow decline goes unseen.

ICU monitors stop at the ICU

Existing systems are expensive and need heavy infrastructure, so they stay in critical care.

Early signs are quiet

The first changes are small and spread across several vitals. Each looks harmless on its own.

How it works

From the patient's wrist to the nurse's screen in seconds.

EEPD watch-style wearable on a patient's wrist, wired to the bedside dock
STEP 1

Wrist band senses

A light band on the hand reads ECG, SpO₂, temperature and movement. No battery to charge.

STEP 2

Bedside dock powers and shows

A cable links the band to the dock, which powers it, shows live vitals on a 5-inch screen and sounds the alarm, even if the network drops.

STEP 3

Sent over ward Wi-Fi

An ESP32 inside the dock streams readings over the hospital's own network.

STEP 4

Edge AI scores risk

A Jetson unit on each floor runs the model. Data never has to leave the hospital.

Care team gets the why

Nurses and doctors see an alert that names the vitals that changed, so they know where to look first.

The model

An alert you can read, not a black box.

EEPD looks at how each patient's vitals move over time, not single readings. It estimates the chance of deterioration in the next 12 hours, then lists the changes behind that number.
