Claim One:
1. A method of monitoring a health status of an individual, the method comprising: providing, by an energy emitter, over a period of time, energy within a field-of-view for generating a depth map of the field-of-view; capturing, by an energy sensor, over the period of time, energy reflected from an individual positioned within the field-of-view; generating, by a processor of a computing device, depth data for the field-of-view based on the captured data from the energy sensor; at each of a plurality of instances within the period of time, determining, by the processor, a user profile of the individual based at least in part on the generated depth data for the field-of-view, wherein the user profile is a view that the individual presents to the energy sensor at the corresponding instance, wherein the view that the individual presents to the energy sensor is a member selected from the group consisting of a front profile, a side profile, and a back profile: at each of the plurality of instances within the period of time, selecting, by the processor, one or more direct measurements from a predetermined set of direct measurements of a body of the individual to perform based on the user profile of the individual at the corresponding instance and determining, by the processor, the one or more selected direct measurements of the body of the individual using the generated depth data for the field-of-view at the corresponding instance, thereby repeatedly selecting and determining one or more direct measurements over the period of time in order to track the health status of the individual over time; determining, by the processor, a plurality of derivative measurements indicative of the health status based at least in part on the one or more direct measurements, wherein the plurality of derivative measurements are repeatedly determined over a period of time in order to track the health status of the individual over time, wherein: the plurality of derivative measurements comprise measurements that indicate (i) whether the individual is sitting and (ii) a walking speed of the individual, and said determining the plurality of derivative measurements comprises: determining, by the processor, whether the individual is sitting based at least in part on the one or more direct measurements; determining, by the processor, a first location of at least a portion of a body part of the individual at a first time based at least in part on the one or more direct measurements; determining, by the processor, a second location of at least a portion of the body part of the individual at a second time based at least in part on the one or more direct measurements; and determining, by the processor, the walking speed of the individual based at least in part on a distance between the first location and the second location and a difference between the first time and the second time; storing in a database, by the processor, at least a portion of the one or more direct measurements and the plurality of derivative measurements such that historic measurements are stored for the individual for use in monitoring the health status of the individual; and displaying, in real time, the plurality of derivative measurements.
