  • Publication number: 20230355135
    Abstract: An intelligent gait analyzing apparatus comprises a first camera and an electronic device. The first camera captures a first video in which the patient walks and a second video in which the patient changes a posture from standing up to sitting down. A second camera may be used to capture a three-dimensional point cloud diagram of the patient to generate a chest skeleton and an abdomen skeleton. A 3D skeleton model and a moving diagram may be created based on the first video. The memory stores a long short-term memory model, a transformer machine learning model and an algorithm of modified gravity center. The graphic processor calculates a gravity center deviation based on the moving diagram, the chest skeleton and the abdomen skeleton. The graphic processor acquires a stride, a pace, a humpbacked value and a risk of falling.

  • Patent number: 11571156
    Abstract: A renal function assessment method includes following steps. A target kidney ultrasound image data of a subject is provided. An image pre-processing step is performed, wherein an image size of the target kidney ultrasound image data is adjusted, and the target kidney ultrasound image data is normalized according to an average and a standard deviation of a visual image database to obtain an after-processed target kidney ultrasound image data. A feature extracting step is performed, wherein the after-processed target kidney ultrasound image data is trained to achieve a convergence by a first deep-learning classifier to obtain an image feature of the after-processed target kidney ultrasound image data. A determining step is performed, wherein the image feature of the after-processed target kidney ultrasound image data is analyzed by the first deep-learning classifier to obtain an assessing result of an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
