The NewbornTime project will develop artificial intelligence based solutions for activity recognition during newborn resuscitations based on both visible light spectrum videos and infrared spectrum (thermal) videos.

A timeline description of the video analysis output enables objective analysis of resuscitation events. The project further aims to use machine learning to find patterns in large amount of such timeline data to better understand how newborn resuscitation treatment is given and how it can be improved. The automatic video analysis and timeline generation will be developed for on-site usage, allowing for data-driven simulation and clinical debrief for health-care providers, and paving the way for automated real-time feedback. This brings added value to the medical staff, mothers and newborns, and society at large.
