1. A method for routing healthcare objects, the method comprising:
receiving, by at least one processor, a digital representation of a scene from at least one sensor;
deriving a set of discriminator characteristics via execution of one or more discriminator algorithms on the digital representation according to data modalities within the digital representation, the one or more discriminator algorithms stored in memory, the set of discriminator characteristics comprising a vector of discriminator characteristics, the vector of discriminator characteristics comprising multiple vector members, and each vector member corresponding to a different modality of data;
discriminating objects in the scene by recognizing an object as a healthcare object type based on the set of discriminator characteristics;
generating a notification from the recognized object according to the healthcare object type;
routing the notification to a destination device according to routing rules associated with the notification; and
rendering a user interface on a display of the destination device in response to receiving the notification.
