The program is designed to solve the inconsistency and subjectivity problem that may arise with traditional clinical assessments. Florian Lange from Würzburg University Clinic Florian Lange said that while watching the same video, different experts can evaluate the severity of the patient in different ways and the program can provide accurate and objective data.
VisionMD developer Diego Guarin stressed that the analysis of video recordings of patients who perform certain movements such as fingers touching the fingers, giving valuable information about the progression of the disease and the deep stimulation of the drug or the brain. However, doctors often do not have time and staff to analyze such videos. The developed software allows you to get useful results for just a few clicks.
VisionMD analyzes the standard videos made on a smartphone, laptop or zoom and automatically removes the correct movement indicators. The program works locally on a computer that provides data privacy. According to Guarin, the lack of cloud processing eliminates the risk of data leakage and the program continues to work even without connecting to the internet.
The vehicle is used by researchers in Germany, Spain and Italy to analyze thousands of patient videos within the framework of examining the possibilities of using computer views to increase motor disorders. Martin Reich, a Professor of Neurogeration, adapted VisionMD to optimize the treatment of tremor patients, especially the treatment of implants for deep brain stimulation. The program analyzes the video of patients with various stimulation parameters and allows you to determine the most effective stimulating settings.
