Abstract
A method and system for remote diagnosis of a congestive heart failure in humans is presented. The method includes receiving a facial image of a patient, wherein the facial image is retrieved from a data store and captured from the patient; extracting, from the facial image, at least one facial feature indicative of a heart condition; classifying the extracted at least one facial feature using a classifier, wherein the classifier maps a plurality of candidate facial features to a plurality of scores indicating a stage of the heart condition; and determining a positive diagnosis and the stage of the heart condition of the patient based on the plurality of scores.
