Nitritty Labs has developed NeuralCam, an AI-powered assistive camera for patients that enables fully or partially immobile patients to request assistance using controlled eye blinks. The solution addresses a critical challenge in healthcare environments, where patients with paralysis, limited mobility, or speech impairments may be unable to use conventional nurse-call systems.
Reliable Assistance When It Matters Most
NeuralCam continuously monitors the patient’s eye state and recognizes intentional blinking patterns that indicate a request for help. Once confirmed, the system immediately triggers a signal to the existing nurse-call infrastructure, allowing caregivers to respond promptly and reliably. Patients who previously depended on frequent manual checks can now summon assistance independently, reducing response delays and improving overall safety.
Designed for Accuracy, Privacy, and Trust
The device delivers consistent eye recognition across all lighting conditions, including low-light and nighttime environments. All video processing is performed directly inside the camera, with no transmission, storage, or external sharing of image data. This on-device approach ensures full patient privacy, minimizes risk, and complies with GDPR and strict medical data protection requirements.
Edge AI at the Core
NeuralCam is built on an edge AI platform combining a high-performance AI vision processor with a modern image sensor. This hardware enables real-time eye-state analysis with ultra-low latency, high accuracy, and energy-efficient operation.
Seamless Integration into Care Environments
The solution integrates smoothly with existing patient call systems and requires minimal training for medical staff. A clear visual feedback indicator confirms successful recognition of a help request, giving patients confidence that their signal has been received. Fast installation and commissioning make the system suitable for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and assisted living facilities.
A Small Gesture with a Big Impact
NeuralCam restores a vital communication channel to patients who would otherwise struggle to call for help. By combining edge AI, privacy-first design, and seamless integration into clinical workflows, the solution enhances patient safety, supports caregivers, and preserves dignity—demonstrating how even a simple blink can make a meaningful difference in healthcare.
