Abstract

This paper presents an approach that monitors patient fluid intake in real time. The approach utilizes the Microsoft Kinect, a low cost 3D sensor and the Microsoft Kinect Software Development Kit to monitor patient fluid intake. An implementation of the Naive Bayes Classifier is used to learn patient movement and classify new examples. The results from our initial experimentation show that the technique offers a promising approach to the monitoring of patient fluid intake.
