摘要：
A system and a method are described for preventing pressure ulcers in a medical care environment by monitoring adherence to a pressure ulcer prevention protocol. The method also includes identifying a first subset of pixels from the plurality of potential locations as representing a bed and/or a seating platform. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a subject, such as a patient, medical personnel； bed； chair； patient tray； medical equipment； etc.) proximal to the bed and/or seating platform. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object with respect to the bed and/or seating platform, and determining changes in the orientation and/or position of the object over a period of time. In implementations, the method further includes issuing an electronic communication alert based upon the determined orientation and/or position of the object over the period of time.
