摘要

Embodiments provide a method, apparatus, and computer program for capturing optical image data of a patient environment and detecting a patient exam. The method (10) for acquiring optical image data of a patient environment and for detecting a patient examination based on the image data comprises detecting (12) the patient based on the image data. The method further comprises detecting (14) at least one other person based on the image data and determining (16) at least one geometric relation between the patient and the at least one other person, wherein determining (16) the geometric relation comprises determining an orientation or a viewing direction of the at least one other person in relation to the patient. The method further comprises detecting (18) the patient check based on the geometric relation.
