CAM-130
A full emergency waiting room
The common hall of an emergency department in mid-afternoon: on the right, full rows of chairs and people waiting on their feet along the corridor that comes in from the entrance; in the middle, the admissions desk with its two screens. On the left there are trolleys parked in the common area and, at the back, the curtains of the care area. IRIS counts how many people are in the hall, how many are seated and how many are left standing; it does not know who any of them are. There is no camera behind those curtains, none in the cubicles and none in any room where a patient is being treated.

What IRIS is
IRIS watches the hospital's cameras for you.
IRIS looks at the cameras you already have in the hospital and understands what it sees: a fall, a patient on the floor, someone left alone for too long, a long queue at admissions. When something like that happens, it lets you know; and whatever can be counted, it counts in numbers. All day long, with no one needing to watch the screen.
You tell it what you need to watch, and IRIS does it.
Here, for example, IRIS counts how many people go in and out of the waiting room using a line drawn across the doorway, and separates how many are sitting from how many are left standing. That way you know at any moment how many people are in there and whether the room's full to bursting. With that number you decide whether to add staff for that shift, and the following month you check whether the six o'clock peak has come down.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.

The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client's measurement.
IRIS incorporates NeuralPax, a separate licence certified by the Spanish Metrology Centre for people counting, occupancy and crowd-flow control. That the figure is right is guaranteed by a third party, not by us: the occupancy figure you show is measured and approved, not estimated. The certification covers that measurement — counting people — not the whole product.
The series, not one figure
One number says nothing. A curve does.

How the counting works
Counting is not something you ask for. You draw a line.
One line is drawn across the mouth of the corridor people come in through, and another across the way through to the care area: whoever crosses them is added or subtracted. And two areas are painted over the image, one over the rows of chairs and one over the corridor where people wait on their feet. Those four things give the figures that matter: how many people are in the hall right now, how many have a seat and how many do not. None of this is asked for in words. Asking is for searching and for describing a situation; counting needs to know exactly where the line runs and in which direction, and only a stroke drawn on the image settles that. So it is drawn once and stays there, and that is why Tuesday's number and Saturday's are measured the same way: they are repeatable and they can be audited.

What changes
What changes for whoever runs the ward
Six in the evening, and the nursing supervisor walks down to the waiting room to count by eye, because today there is no other way. With the lines in place she sees the curve while it is happening, and how many are left standing — the sign that the room has run out of give. At the end of the month you can see what time the peak repeats each week, and that is what gets taken to the meeting where an extra shift is decided. It is a staffing and space decision, never a clinical one: IRIS does not triage, does not prioritise anyone and does not say who should be seen first. The hospital writes the capacity figure. And the people waiting there are frightened people, not a number. The values in the image are an example.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS decide who gets seen first?
No. IRIS does not diagnose, does not triage and does not prioritise anybody. It counts how many people are in a hall and how many cross a line, and that is where it stops. Triage is done by a professional using clinical judgement, and IRIS takes no part in that decision and does not feed it: it does not know what is wrong with anyone, it does not see the medical record and it sends nothing to whoever decides the order of care. The figure it produces is for organising staff and space, not patients.
Does IRIS know who the people waiting are?
No. It counts bodies crossing a line and standing inside a drawn area. It does not recognise faces, it does not compare them with any database, it does not store who anyone is and it keeps no record of any individual. Nor does it reach the medical record or cross the count with any hospital data. It counts how many, not who. And where a patient is treated — a cubicle, an examination room — there is no camera: this one watches a common area of movement and waiting.
Why should that number be trusted?
Because it is always measured the same way and it can be checked. The line and the areas are drawn once on the image, so Tuesday's count and Sunday's come from the same place and can be compared across shifts, across days and across rooms. On top of that, IRIS people counting is certified by the Spanish Metrology Centre: that the figure is the right one is guaranteed by an independent third party, not by us. That certification covers that one measurement — people counting — and not the whole product.
Simulation · how IRIS works
We won't just tell you. We'll show you.
It is a summary of the real screen: it plays by itself, step by step, and shows only the path of one case. The actual tool has far more than fits in here.
- Cameras on the map
- You draw an area
- What passed shows up
See it somewhere else
Who sees the sales that never reach the till?
10 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 6 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching when the load swings over somebody?
11 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 2 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
One camera,and you already have a watchman. Four thousand cameras, and you have four thousand watchmen.
None of them tires, none of them looks away and none of them works shifts. And there is nothing to install: the cameras you already have can start understanding what they see.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
