The Globe Digest #50: App creates time-lapse videos of the body for telemedicine

A new app developed by Cornell researchers helps users record highly accurate time-lapse videos of body parts – a surprisingly difficult task and an unmet need in remote medicine and telehealth applications.

A team led by Abe Davis, assistant professor of computer science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, created the app, called MeCapture. It uses augmented reality, 3D tracking and interactive visual feedback to help users consistently capture images of body parts day after day and collect medically relevant information outside of the clinic.
