1. A neuroactivity monitoring system, comprising:
a patient support;
a camera assembly configured to acquire image data of a patient positioned on the patient support; and
a monitoring device in communication with the camera assembly, wherein the monitoring device comprises a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of the monitoring device, cause the monitoring device to:
receive the acquired image data from the camera assembly;
identify landmarks of the patient in the image data;
monitor a temperature of the patient based on infrared image data;
track movement of the identified landmarks in the image data;
characterize a neuroactivity of the patient based on the tracked movement of the identified landmarks and the temperature of the patient, wherein the neuroactivity is characterized as a seizure or a level of pain; and
initiate additional monitoring using a video electroencephalography device based on the characterized neuroactivity from the acquired image data, wherein the video electroencephalography device acquires video electroencephalography data.
