Claim 0:
1. A computerized method for detecting stroke symptoms comprising:
capturing image data including two or more images including a face of a person using at least one 3-dimensional (3D) sensor;
superimposing at least one axis of a 3-dimensional (3D) axis system at a reference anatomical feature of the face in a portion of the image data including the face of the person; and
communicating an electronic alert to a remote device in response to detecting an asymmetric change in position of at least one reference point of a plurality of reference points that correspond to anatomical features on the face of the person within the image data relative to the 3D axis system, wherein the detected asymmetric change in position of the at least one reference point represents a change in a degree of asymmetry corresponding to a depth axis in the 3D axis system, and wherein the change in the degree of asymmetry exceeds a threshold change of about 10% or 3 mm in the degree of asymmetry.
