Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing health monitoring based on changes in body dimensions derived from images of a human collected over long periods of time are presented herein. An image based medical diagnosis system precisely measures body dimensions, changes in body dimensions over time, or both, and identifies whether any measured dimensions, changes in dimensions, or both, have exceeded one or more threshold values indicative of the onset or recurrence of a medically significant condition. In another further aspect, an alert is communicated to medical professionals to further investigate the medical condition of the human user. In one aspect, body dimensions are estimated based on a known value of a reference dimension identifiable in each of the plurality of images. In some examples, the distance between facial features in an image is normalized with respect to the measured inter-pupillary distance associated with that image.
