1. A method of cardiac monitoring, the method comprising:
receiving, by a cardiac monitoring computing device, image data from an image sensor configured for monitoring edema in a patient, wherein the image sensor comprises;
a light source configured to irradiate a tissue of the patient with light; and
a detector configured to collect reflected light from the tissue of the patient and generate the image data associated with the reflected light;
receiving, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, the image data associated with the reflected light;
calculating, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, intensity values for reflected light;
determining, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, whether the tissue exhibits symptoms of edema;
receiving, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, additional data from one or more additional sensors configured to monitor one or more factors related to cardiac activity of the patient;
fusing, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, the received image data with the received additional data from the one or more additional sensors to generate a fused data set; and
determining, by the cardiac monitoring computing device, a cardiac condition for the patient based on the fused data set.
