Google to Provide 10,000 Nest Cams to Mount Sinai Health Care Workers
Mount Sinai has been the first hospital to work with Google in order to monitor Coronavirus patients.
Starting this week, Mount Sinai began installing two Nest Cameras in more than a hundred rooms being used to help Coronavirus patients—in most rooms one will be used to monitor and communicate with patients and the other will monitor their vitals. Video from the cameras will be livestreamed to a purpose built console located in Mount Sinai nurse stations (Google will not store this footage or have access to it). This purpose-built console was designed to aid health care workers; it allows for monitoring patients, tracking vitals and talking with the patients.Google says it is working to provide 10,000 Nest Cams with the purpose built console to hospitals across the U.S.
