“…In clinical environments such as operating rooms (ORs) and intensive care units (ICUs), key events during patient monitoring include: (1) Patient movements while lying in bed and in mobility within the room [1,2]; (2) Bedside monitor alarm triggers and noise pollution [2][3][4][5][6]; (3) Presence, absence and movement of clinical personnel in the patient's vicinity [7][8][9]; and (4) Variations in the ambient light, temperature, and humidity [2,6,10]. In home environments, key events that are generally untracked but are beneficial for patient monitoring include: (1) Patient bodily movement during sleep [11,12]; (2) Patient movement around their residence [13]; (3) Doorbell triggers, smoke-detector triggers, microwave beeps, and phone rings [14]; and (4) Changes in the ambient light, temperature, and humidity [15]. Recently, non-contact sensors or nearables [15][16][17][18][19][20] such as microphones, video cameras, light-intensity sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, are becoming more popular for hassle-free patient monitoring.…”
