VideoPulse system estimates neonatal vitals from video

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed VideoPulse, a novel system designed to estimate neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) using non-contact video recordings. This approach is particularly beneficial for neonates, as it avoids the need for adhesive probes that can cause skin irritation and increase infection risks. The system utilizes a 3D CNN backbone and achieves promising results on the NBHR neonatal dataset, with MAE of 2.97 bpm for heart rate and 1.69 percent for SpO2. Furthermore, VideoPulse demonstrates effectiveness in cross-dataset evaluations, indicating its potential for low-cost, non-invasive monitoring in neonatal intensive care units. AI

IMPACT Enables non-invasive, low-cost monitoring of neonatal vital signs, potentially improving care in NICUs.

    VideoPulse: Neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) estimation from contact free video

    arXiv:2602.23771v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) enables contact free monitoring of vital signs and is especially valuable for neonates, since conventional methods often require sustained skin contact with adhesive probes that can irrit…
