Summary

This study tested whether a special thermal camera could automatically detect breathing distress in patients on breathing machines. The camera measures heart rate, breathing rate, and facial expressions to spot signs of suffocation without needing a nurse to watch constantly. The goal is to help doctors and nurses catch breathing problems earlier and improve patient comfort.
