Pose detection to upgrade Zoom consultations: our concept
We investigated the scenarios and approaches to extend Zoom meetings by implementing artificial intelligence. In particular, by combining image preprocessing, machine learning, landmark detection, skeleton modeling, and other advanced techniques.
We designed an application to transform physical therapy and rehabilitation by embedding computer vision:
- To begin, we obtain the real-time video stream directly from the meeting
- Moving further, we handle the real-time video analysis by applying pose estimation
- The results are almost immediately displayed on the call screen
- After that, a report is sent to the attending clinician to be further analyzed
To learn how this might work, check out our blog – we know everything about the modern healthcare setting.
Pose estimation to extend Zoom integration: the benefits
Increased accessibility
Forget about geographic location, transportation difficulties, mobility impairments, childcare responsibilities. Our software can eliminate common barriers for individuals that seek high-quality assessment and assistance but struggle with attending in-person appointments.
Reduced times and cost
Office space, facility cleaning, scheduling conflicts, waiting times, and other office issues – no longer a problem. Our solution can drive better thought-out resource allocation.
More insights
By leveraging artificial intelligence, you obtain detailed insights into your everyday assessments and decisions. Joint angles, posture alignment, motion range, movement deviation, and more – all analyzed within seconds.
Greater accuracy
By applying computer vision, you achieve superb accuracy, and that without additional physical equipment. Correct diagnoses, aligned treatment, and, naturally, faster recovery are now more feasible than ever.
