Systems and methods for recognizing children suffering cows' milk allergy

A method for recognizing cow's milk allergy in an infant comprising measuring body movement of the infant, wherein the method is performed on a computing device including at least one processor and a memory storing processor-executable codes which, when implemented by the at least one processor, performs the steps of:

• receiving a video including a sequence of images of an infant moving;
• detecting the infant in the video images;
• locating at least one reference point on the infant in the video images, wherein the at least one reference point is a body part of the infant;
• measuring at least one vector of movement for the at least one reference point over a sequence of said images;
• comparing the at least one vector of movement for the at least one reference point against at least one directory of corresponding vectors of movement and determining at least one proximity value, wherein the at least one directory of corresponding vectors of movement comprises a collection of vectors of movement attained by determining respective vectors of movement in infants suffering from cow's milk allergy and in infants not obviously suffering with any ailment as a control, and wherein the at least one proximity value is calculated from the amount of deviation of the at least one vector of movement from the at least one directory of corresponding vectors of movement;
• generating a communication in which the at least one proximity value is used to provide an indication of whether the infant is suffering from cow's milk allergy;
• and
• display the communication of the indication of whether the infant is suffering from cow's milk allergy to a user.
