Early Bed-Exit Intent Prediction using Load Cell Signals: ViFusionTST

Outline

This paper presents a method for predicting bed departure intentions early, using a single, low-cost load cell installed under the bed leg to prevent patient falls in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The load cell signals are converted into texture maps, including RGB line graphs, recursive plots, Markov transform fields, and Gramian angle fields, and then fused. These are then parallel processed using a dual-stream Swin Transformer called ViFusionTST, and fused using cross-attention to learn data-driven modal weights. To reflect real-world conditions, ViFusionTST is evaluated using data collected over six months from 95 beds in a long-term care facility. The results show an accuracy of 0.885 and an F1 score of 0.794, outperforming existing time-series-based models.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Leveraging low-cost load cells and image-based fusion technology, we present a real-time, privacy-preserving fall prevention solution.
Demonstrated excellent performance on real-world datasets.
A practical and effective methodology for predicting bed departure intentions is proposed.
Limitations:
Performance evaluation based on data from a specific long-term care facility. Further review is needed to determine generalizability to other settings.
Additional safety and validity verification is required when applying the model to actual clinical environments.
Consideration must be given to the computing resources and maintenance costs required for model training and operation.
