Article Abstract

Acquiring gait metrics and anthropometric data is crucial for evaluating an individual's physical status. Automating this assessment process alleviates the burden on healthcare professionals and accelerates patient monitoring. Current automation techniques depend on specific, expensive systems such as OptoGait or MuscleLAB, which necessitate training and physical space. A more accessible alternative could be artificial vision systems that are operable via mobile devices. This article introduces Health&Gait, the first dataset for video-based gait analysis, comprising 398 participants and 1, 564 videos. The dataset provides information such as the participant's silhouette, semantic segmentation, optical flow, and human pose. Furthermore, each participant's data includes their sex, anthropometric measurements like height and weight, and gait parameters such as step or stride length and gait speed. The technical evaluation demonstrates the utility of the information extracted from the videos and the gait parameters in tackling tasks like sex classification and regression of weight and age. Health&Gait facilitates the progression of artificial vision algorithms for automated gait analysis.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasonography has become a valuable tool for assessing diaphragmatic function in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. However, conventional diaphragm ultrasound assessment remains highly operator-dependent and subjective. Previous research introduced automatic measurement of diaphragmatic excursion and velocity using 2D speckle-tracking technology.

For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells to function effectively. This study uses one-hour phase-contrast time-lapses of single-cell bacterial growth collected from microfluidic chip traps, also known as a "mother machine".
