Methods for visual identification of cognitive disorders
11276498 · 2022-03-15 ·

A method and system for remote diagnosis of a cognitive disorder in humans are provided. The system comprises receive, over a network, at least one facial image of a patient; extracting, from the at least one facial image, at least one facial feature indicative of a cognitive decline; classifying the at least one extracted facial feature using a classifier, wherein the classifier maps a plurality of candidate facial features to a score indicating a stage of a cognitive decline; and determining a positive diagnosis of a cognitive decline of the patient, based on the score provided by the classifier in response to the at least one extracted facial feature.

MEASUREMENT OF NEUROMOTOR COORDINATION FROM SPEECH
20220079511 · 2022-03-17 ·

A system for measuring neuromotor disorders from speech is configured to receive an audio recording that includes spoken speech and compute feature coefficients from at least a portion of the spoken speech in the audio recording. The feature coefficients represent at least one characteristic of the spoken speech in the audio recording. One or more vocal tract variables may be computed from the feature coefficients. The vocal tract variables may represent a physical configuration of a vocal tract associated with at least one of the one or more sounds. The vocal tract variables and/or the feature coefficients are used to determine if a disorder that affects neuromotor speech is present.
