Abstract

A system includes an image capture device and one or more processors. The image capture device is configured to detect a plurality of images regarding a subject. The one or more processors are configured to receive the plurality of images, identify the subject using the plurality of images, detect a movement of the subject using the plurality of images, compare the movement to a predetermined movement pattern, generate a movement metric based on the comparison, and store, in a database, an association between a subject profile corresponding to the identified subject, the plurality of images, and the movement metric.

Claims (47)

1. A system, comprising:

an image capture device configured to detect a plurality of images of a subject; and

one or more processors configured to:

receive the plurality of images;

identify the subject using the plurality of images;

detect a movement of the subject using the plurality of images;

compare the movement to a predetermined movement pattern corresponding to at least one of a functional reach, a sit to stand, or a timed up and go movement;

generate a movement metric based on the comparison; and

store, in a database, an association between a subject profile corresponding to the identified subject, the plurality of images, and the movement metric.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

retrieve a subject assessment data structure corresponding to the identified subject, the subject assessment data structure comprising a plurality of fields;

identify at least one field of the plurality of fields corresponding to the movement;

generate an indication of the movement comprising at least one text string; and

assign the indication of the movement to the identified at least one field.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

retrieve, from the database, one or more previous images representing a previous functional reach, sit to stand, or timed up and go movement of the subject; and

generate a visual representation comparing the movement to the previous functional reach, sit to stand, or timed up and go movement of the subject using the one or more previous images.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to apply a diagnosis function to the movement metric to generate a diagnosis regarding the subject.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to provide a plurality of instructions regarding an assessment corresponding to the movement.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to adjust the plurality of instructions based on the movement metric.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to predict completion of a target condition of the subject corresponding to the movement based on the movement metric.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to provide one or more therapy parameters based on the movement metric.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to identify the predetermined movement pattern based on at least one of a functional reach test parameter, a sit to stand test parameter, or a timed up and go parameter.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to detect the movement by identifying, from the plurality of images, at least one subset of pixels of the plurality of images corresponding to target features of the subject, and tracking the at least one subset of pixels across the plurality of images.

11. A method, comprising:

detecting, by an image capture device, a plurality of images of a subject;

receiving, by one or more processors, the plurality of images;

identifying, by the one or more processors, the subject using the plurality of images;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a movement of the subject using the plurality of images;

comparing, by the one or more processors, the movement to a predetermined movement pattern corresponding to at least one of a functional reach, a sit to stand, or a timed up and go movement;

generating, by the one or more processors, a movement metric based on the comparison; and

storing, by the one or more processors in a database, an association between a subject profile corresponding to the identified subject, the plurality of images, and the movement metric.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

retrieving a subject assessment data structure corresponding to the identified subject, the subject assessment data structure comprising a plurality of fields;

identifying at least one field of the plurality of fields corresponding to the movement;

generating an indication of the movement comprising at least one text string; and

assigning the indication of the movement to the identified at least one field.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

retrieving, from the database, one or more previous images representing a previous functional reach, sit to stand, or timed up and go movement of the subject; and

generating a visual representation comparing the movement to the previous functional reach, sit to stand, or timed up and go movement of the subject using the one or more previous images.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising applying a diagnosis function to the movement metric to generate a diagnosis regarding the subject.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing a plurality of instructions regarding an assessment corresponding to the movement.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising adjusting the plurality of instructions based on the movement metric.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising predicting completion of a target condition of the subject corresponding to the movement based on the movement metric.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing one or more therapy parameters based on the movement metric.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising identifying the predetermined movement pattern based on at least one of a functional reach test parameter, a sit to stand test parameter, or a timed up and go parameter.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising detecting the movement by identifying, from the plurality of images, at least one subset of pixels of the plurality of images corresponding to target features of the subject, and tracking the at least one subset of pixels across the plurality of images.
