Abstract
Integrated platforms, systems, and associated processes for measuring lifespan, body size and shape, activity, pathology, pigmentation/color, and multiple in vivo molecular biomarkers using multiple cameras are described. The integrated platform includes a plate and trays supported on the plate. Each tray can hold animals. The integrated platform also includes an imaging module with a first camera and a second camera. The first camera can capture first images associated with movement of the animals and the second camera can capture second images and third images associated with biomarkers of the animals.

A method for image analysis comprising:
- inputting, into a computer, first data of animals within trays of an integrated platform;
- extracting, with the computer, second data of the animals from darkfield images collected from a first camera of the integrated platform;
- extracting, with the computer, third data of the animals from brightfield images of the animals collected from a second camera of the integrated platform;
- and
- integrating, with the computer, the first data, the second data, and the third data via a statistical analysis.
