Classification: CPC A  G  Y | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. A device comprising processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
acquire or receive a set of images of a capillary bed of a body portion of a user;
detect, without user input, in one or more images of the set of images, one or more capillaries of the body portion; and
classify the user to a first user type of a set of user types, at least one user type of the set of user types associated with a diagnosis of neutropenia, the classifying based on:
an event count based on a set of cellular events in the one or more capillaries, each cellular event of the set of cellular events associated with passage of one or more types of white blood cells (WBCs) in a capillary of the one or more capillaries; and
an event count threshold associated with a minimum number of cellular events for classification of the user to the first user type, wherein the event count threshold is based on application of a supervised learning approach to a set of training images associated with capillary beds in body portions of a set of training users.
