Enhancing Healthcare through AI-driven Pose Estimation: Applications in Diagnosis and Therapy

Explore the advanced application of artificial intelligence in healthcare, specifically through AI-driven pose estimation to enhance patient diagnosis and rehabilitation. By utilizing deep learning models to analyze human gait patterns, AI enables the precise diagnosis of Cerebellar Ataxia, a neurological disorder that affects coordination and balance. In parallel, AI is transforming hydrotherapy by accurately monitoring patient movements during rehabilitation, allowing for personalized therapy plans that adapt to individual progress. These innovations underscore how AI not only advances the technical accuracy of medical assessments but also directly improves patient care by offering tailored treatment solutions.
