In-bed posture classification using deep autoencoders

Pressure ulcers are high prevalence complications among bed-bound patients which are not only extremely painful and difficult to treat, but also impose a great burden in our health-care system. We target automatic posture detection which is a key module in all pressure ulcer monitoring platforms. Using data collected from a commercially-available pressure mapping system, we applied deep neural networks to automatically classify in-bed posture using features extracted from the histogram of gradient technique. High accuracy of up to 98% was achieved in classifying five different in-bed postures for more than 60,000 pressure images.
