Abstract
An apparatus, system and process for tracking and analyzing target person movements, captured while the target person is performing ordinary tasks outside of a medical context, for medical diagnosis and treatment review are described. The method may include constructing a model of a target person from three-dimensional (3D) image data of the target person performing an activity over a period of time. The method may also include tracking movement of the model of the target person in the 3D image data over the period of time, and detecting one or more motion features in the movement of the model of the target person that are relevant to diagnosis, treatment, care, or a combination thereof, of a potential chronic neurodegenerative or musculoskeletal medical condition. The method may also include computing a risk score associated with likelihood of the target person having the medical condition based on the detected motion features.
