Abstract
A medical system may utilize a modular and extensible sensing device to derive a two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) human model for a patient in real-time based on images of the patient captured by a sensor such as a digital camera. The 2D or 3D human model may be visually presented on one or more devices of the medical system and used to facilitate a healthcare service provided to the patient. In examples, the 2D or 3D human model may be used to improve the speed, accuracy and consistency of patient positioning for a medical procedure. In examples, the 2D or 3D human model may be used to enable unified analysis of the patient's medical conditions by linking different scan images of the patient through the 2D or 3D human model. In examples, the 2D or 3D human model may be used to facilitate surgical navigation, patient monitoring, process automation, and/or the like.
