Abstract
A method and system for remotely detecting a heart-related condition 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 at least one facial feature from the facial image of the patient, wherein the at least one facial feature is represented as numerical descriptors of facial attributes, wherein the numerical descriptors include surface features of the at least one facial feature; and classifying the extracted at least one facial feature using a classifier, wherein the classifier maps the extracted at least one facial feature to at least one score indicative of a stage of the heart-related condition.
