Abstract:
Only qualitative data on social interactions between ventilated patients and their caregivers and families are available from interviews. To improve sociological research in this highly sensitive setting, a concept of an observation system is described and presented. The system will be autonomous and is designed to collect information for a better understanding of the impact of using autonomous life-supporting systems like mechanical ventilation on the social system family with as minimal interfering as possible to the considered framework. From the analysis of the pilot study a multi sensor system, which combines Kinect, infrared-array and sound pressure data of a happening social interaction, is derived.
