AvidBeam’s AvidGuard addresses this challenge with its intelligent Left Object Detection feature, designed to keep hallways and emergency paths clear and safe.

By using AI-powered video analytics, AvidGuard monitors critical zones across the hospital and instantly alerts staff when an item is left unattended in a sensitive area. Whether it’s a medical trolley, equipment, or a personal item blocking an emergency exit, AvidGuard ensures swift detection and response before it becomes a safety hazard.

Common left object detection scenarios in healthcare include: •

• Medical carts or stretchers left in front of emergency exits
• Equipment blocking corridors or ICU entry points

This real-time detection supports faster intervention and improves compliance with hospital safety protocols.

While left object detection plays a vital role in emergency readiness, AvidGuard also offers a suite of additional video analytics features that contribute to safer, smarter healthcare environments:

• Anomaly Detection Automatically detects incidents like patient falls, unauthorized access, and suspicious behavior, ensuring timely alerts and responses.
• Heatmaps and Occupancy Analysis Tracks people flow and congestion patterns across the facility, helping optimize layouts and reduce crowding in high-risk zones.
• PPE Compliance Monitoring Verifies that staff and visitors are wearing required protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and gowns, supporting infection control measures.

From maintaining clear hallways to ensuring proper safety protocols, AvidBeam’s AvidGuard transforms video data into real-time operational intelligence for hospitals and care centers.
