Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and devices having segmented numeral character recognition. In an embodiment, users may take digital pictures of a seven-segment display on a sensor device. For example, a user at a remote location may use a digital camera to capture a digital image of a seven-segment display on a sensor device. Captured images of a seven-segment display may then be sent or uploaded over a network to a remote health management system. The health care management system includes a reader that processes the received images to determine sensor readings representative of the values output on the seven-segment displays of the remote sensor devices. Machine learning and OCR are used to identify numeric characters in images associated with seven-segment displays. In this way, a remote heath management system can obtain sensor readings from remote locations when users only have access to sensor devices with seven-segment displays.
