• Smart Camera-based Human Monitoring Systems: An Exploration of Use Cases in Applied Research (Bachelor Thesis Business Information Systems, in progress) AbstractDetails

  Smart camera-based monitoring systems are capable of tracking and monitoring human activities. In recent years, systems have been developed that enable contactless monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate and oxygen saturation, capture human behavior such as posture and eye activity, and are able to detect human emotions. In contrast to other monitoring systems, cameras have the advantage of being low-cost and unobtrusive, which facilitates their implementation in different environments. Despite the technological capabilities of these systems, their use in the real world is currently limited. 

  Therefore, the aim of this Bachelor thesis is to identify use cases and their potential in real-life scenarios. In order to successfully complete this Bachelor thesis, use cases will first be identified through a systematic literature review and then their potential will be explored through an online survey (e.g. LimeSurvey).
