Development of a Face Asymmetry Detector - Optical Engineering

Development of a Face Asymmetry Detector - Optical Engineering

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 using cameras placed on a headset that image portions of the face from different vantage points.  The optical engineering intern will collaborate with our computer engineering team to develop an face asymmetry detector based on the multi-camera headset hardware.
