Abstract
A method and system are provided for characterizing a portion of biological tissue. This invention comprises a smartphone and tablet deployable mobile medical application that uses device sensors, internet connectivity and cloud-based image processing to document and analyze physiological characteristics of hand arthritis. The application facilitates image capture and performs image processing that identifies hand fiduciary features and measures hand anatomical features to report and quantify the progress of arthritic disease.
