Abstract

A system, an apparatus and a method for human health evaluation utilizing Thermal Micro Texture (TMT) mapping technology is disclosed. The method comprises scanning body areas of a patient utilizing an infrared camera, detecting abnormalities in the body of the patient, analyzing abnormalities of the patient against information stored in a database, and reporting results to the patient in a pre-determined format. The method provides an earlier discovery of disease by mapping and analyzing abnormal temperatures changes in the body, which can help prevent the disease from progressing at an early stage.
