Problem Statment
A current Ph.D. student, Md Saiful Islam, is currently working on a project that tracks finger tapping for standard neurological assessment tasks from a video. The application developed is one that tracks the movement of the subject's finger. The data of the finger tracking is then saved and converted into a graphical representation. That being said, our role is to develop an interface for doctors to be able to observe the data and rate the patient's finger tapping. We chose this project because we find it important that medical centers should be included in initiatives for innovative software. Currently, the most common neurological assessments are tuning fork, flashlight, reflex hammer, and a tool for examining the eye. We want to build software using the existing pipeline developed by UR grad students that will allow a doctor to easily look at patients’ charts extracted from the video recorded during their assessment. The interface should be simple and easy to rate how well the patient is tapping their fingers on both hands.
