Abstract
A database of video clips is provided wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns in children aged from birth and older or in adults. The behavior patterns in the video clip database are relevant to neurodevelopmental disorders. The behavior patterns depicted in the video clips are indexed and searchable. Also provided is a method of assessing a behavioral abnormality in the test subject. The normal and abnormal patterns for a given behavior can be compared to a test subject performing the same behavior depicted in the video library, to permit a medical professional to assess the extent of a behavioral abnormality in the test subject.
Claims30
A database of video clips comprising
- a. a set of video clips wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns of an activity, wherein the abnormal behavior patterns are correlated to validated behaviors for the activity that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein each video clip has metadata associated therewith, wherein the metadata comprises indexing information describing the contents of the video clip;
- and
- c. wherein the normal and abnormal patterns for a given activity depicted in the video clips can be compared to a test subject performing the same activity to permit an observer to objectively assess the extent of a behavioral abnormality in the test subject.
A method of detecting or diagnosing a behavioral abnormality caused by a neurodevelopmental disorder in a test subject, comprising
- a. a database of video clips wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns of an activity, wherein the abnormal behavior patterns are correlated to validated behaviors for the activity that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein each video clip has metadata associated therewith, wherein the metadata comprises indexing information describing the contents of the video clip;
- c. wherein a professional observer observes the behavior of the test subject performing a given activity depicted in the video clips, and the normal and abnormal patterns for the activity are compared to the test subject performing the same activity, and the observer objectively assesses the extent of a behavioral abnormality in the test subject.
A method of diagnosing a behavioral abnormality caused by a neurodevelopmental disorder in a test subject, comprising
- a. a database of video clips comprising a set of video clips, wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns of an activity in humans, wherein the abnormal behavior patterns are correlated to validated behaviors for the activity that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein each video clip has metadata associated therewith, wherein the metadata comprises indexing information describing the contents of the video clip;
- c. wherein a professional observer observes the behavior of the test subject performing the activity, and the normal and abnormal patterns for the activity depicted in the video clips are compared to the age-matched test subject performing the same activity, and the observer objectively assesses the extent of a behavioral abnormality in the test subject;
- and
- d. wherein the metadata assists the observer in establishing a diagnosis for the test subject.
A database of video clips comprising
- a. a set of video clips wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns of a subject performing one or more activities, wherein the abnormal behavior patterns are correlated to validated behaviors for the activities that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein the video clip database comprises video clips of a series of identifiable individuals performing the activities, wherein each individual is depicted performing the activity two or more times at identified intervals during a timeframe from onset of disease to a cure or death of the identifiable individual.
A database of video clips for a test subject comprising
- a. a set of video clips wherein each video clip depicts normal or abnormal behavioral patterns for one or more activities, wherein the abnormal behavior patterns are correlated to validated behaviors for the activities that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein the behavior of the test subject performing the activities is compared to the same test subject performing the same activity at another time, and the observer objectively assesses the extent of a behavioral abnormality in the test subject.
A method of assessing the progress of a neurodevelopment disorder in a test subject having a neurodevelopmental disorder, comprising
- a. a database of video clips wherein each video clip depicts behavioral patterns of a subject having a neurodevelopmental disorder performing one or more activities, wherein the behavior patterns are correlated to typical behaviors for the activities that characterize a neurodevelopmental disorder;
- b. wherein the video clip database comprises a series of identifiable individuals performing the activities, wherein each individual is depicted performing the activity at a baseline and at least one more time at an identified interval of the progression of the neurodevelopmental disorder, during a timeframe from onset of the neurodevelopmental disorder to a cure or death of the identifiable individual;
- and
- c. wherein a professional observer observes the behavior of the test subject performing an activity in the database at times correlated to the identified intervals during the progression of the disease, and the normal and abnormal patterns for the activity presented in the video clips are compared to the test subject, and the observer objectively assesses the extent of the behavioral abnormality in the test subject.
