A mobile or stationary device generates video data of a human's or an animal's movements. The device may then perform a vision analysis to predict an ailment, based on the video data. The video data may be compared to historical data to determine a difference in the human's or the animal's movements. If the difference is within a threshold value, then the vision analysis may infer that the human or animal is moving as expected. However, if the difference lies outside a normal range, or exceeds the threshold value, then the vision analysis may infer that the human or animal suffers from the ailment. Different ranges of values and thresholds may thus be established to infer different ailments. For example, gait and posture may be monitored over time to infer the early onset of arthritis and diabetes.

Computer vision monitoring and prediction of ailments

A spherical, self-propelled device responds to remote controls from a user. The self-propelled device has an internal drive system and an internal vision system. The vision system remains in a constant orientation with respect to the spherical, self-propelled device. As the spherical, self-propelled device rolls along a surface, the internal vision system captures video data from an upward field of view.
