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
