Assessment and classification system

A method for providing assessment of medical conditions, comprising:

• providing a server;
• providing a database accessible by said server,
• said database comprising a first plurality of first image sets of a plurality of medical conditions utilizable to assess a type of medical conditions and a second plurality of second image sets utilizable to assess the severity of corresponding ones of said medical conditions;
• utilizing said database to access said first plurality of first image sets to assess a type of medical condition;
• and
• utilizing said database to access said second plurality of second image sets to assess the severity of the assessed medical condition.

A method for providing assessment of cranial deformation of a subject's head, comprising:

• providing a server;
• providing a database accessible by said server,
• said database comprising a first plurality of first image sets utilizable to assess a cranial deformity type and a second plurality of second image sets utilizable to assess the severity of a cranial deformity;
• utilizing said database to access said first plurality of first image sets to assess a type of cranial deformity of said subject's head;
• and
• utilizing said database to access said second plurality of second image sets to assess the severity of said cranial deformation of said subject's head.

A method for providing assessment of cranial deformities of a subject's head, comprising:

• providing a downloadable application program;
• providing a database accessible by said application program, said database comprising a first plurality of first image sets utilizable to assess a cranial deformity type and a second plurality of second image sets utilizable to assess the severity of a cranial deformity;
• utilizing said database to access said first plurality of first image sets to assess a type of cranial deformity of said subject's head;
• and
• utilizing said database to access said second plurality of second image sets to assess the severity of said cranial deformation of said subject's head.

In combination:

• an application program operable to provide assessment of cranial deformities;
• a database accessible by said application program, said database comprising a first plurality of first image sets utilizable to assess a cranial deformity type and a second plurality of second image sets utilizable to assess the severity of a cranial deformity;
• said application program utilizing said database to access said first plurality of first image sets to assess a type of cranial deformity of said subject's head;
• and
• said application utilizing said database to access said second plurality of second image sets to assess the severity of said cranial deformation of said subject's head.

Apparatus operable to provide assessment of cranial deformities, comprising:

• programmable apparatus comprising a display and an application program
• said application program including a database accessible by said application program, said database comprising a plurality of image sets;
• each image set comprising a plurality of images of a corresponding head shape selected from a plurality of head shapes, each image of said plurality of images being an image of said corresponding head from one viewing orientation of a plurality of predetermined viewing orientations;
• said plurality of head shapes comprising one or more head shapes selected from the group comprising a plagiocephalic head shape, a brachycephalic head shape, and a scaphocephalic head shape;
• each predetermined viewing orientation of said plurality of viewing orientations being selected from a first predetermined viewing orientation looking down at a head from above, a second viewing orientation from the side looking at the side of a head, a third viewing orientation from the front looking at the front of a head, and a fourth viewing orientation from below looking up at head towards the jaw of the head;
• and
• said application program being operable to select a group of images from said database, said selected group of images comprising a selected one image from each said image set, each said selected one image corresponding to the same one predetermined viewing orientation.
