Development of a Face Asymmetry Detector

Development of a Face Asymmetry Detector

NeuroSpring is a 501(c)(3) research organization that is developing the Virtual Neurologist, an artificial intelligence-based medical device that will diagnose neurological emergencies in patients by directly interacting with the patients autonomously, without the routine involvement of a neurologist.

The Virtual Neurologist works by directly speaking with, and examining, the patient.  Part of the patient evaluation requires detecting facial asymmetry (left side versus right side of a patient’s face) as a sign of neurological injury.

The internship project aims to develop a means of detecting facial asymmetry.  The intern will work with an experienced electrical and computer engineering graduate student, reporting then to the Technical Project Manager.
