Multimodal Anomaly Detection Platform
Early warning system for hospitals, factories, and wearable fleets
Unified dashboard showing cross-sensor anomaly alerts in a smart ward.Abstract
To ensure safety in smart hospitals and industrial labs, we built a multimodal anomaly detection platform that monitors RGB-D cameras, thermal feeds, audio sensors, and biomedical wearables. The system is privacy-aware—it converts raw inputs into latent embeddings on-site, then shares only anomaly scores and short textual explanations with caregivers.
Technical Highlights
- Self-supervised pretraining with contrastive and masked reconstruction tasks for each modality
- Cross-modal graph attention that correlates patient posture, equipment usage, and biosignal trends
- Edge deployment options leveraging NVIDIA Jetson, ARM microcontrollers, and neuromorphic co-processors
- Human-in-the-loop tooling so clinicians can label new events and adapt thresholds quickly
Impact
- Reduced false alarms in remote ICU pilots by combining DVS privacy cameras with wearable ECG signals
- Provided anomaly datasets for coursework, enabling students to experience end-to-end detection pipelines
- Created reusable APIs that other BCML projects (e.g., Nailfold Capillaroscopy, patient monitoring) can plug into for quality assurance
