A Markerless Vision-Based Physical Frailty Assessment System for the Older Adults
This paper introduces a fully automated, markerless vision-based system for comprehensive physical frailty assessment in older adults. Leveraging a Kinect V2 depth camera and machine learning models, it integrates six standardized functional tests (Grip Strength, Seated Forward Bend, Functional Reach, Timed Up and Go, Standing on One Leg with Eyes Open, Walking Speed). The system achieves 98-100% classification accuracy with real-time feedback and detailed reporting, addressing current limitations in scalability, consistency, and observer dependency in geriatric screening.
Enterprise Impact: Revolutionizing Geriatric Care with AI
Implementing this AI-driven frailty assessment system can significantly reduce healthcare costs by enabling early detection and intervention for older adults, preventing falls, hospitalizations, and long-term care expenditures. Its real-time, objective, and scalable nature offers a paradigm shift in geriatric care, improving patient outcomes and quality of life while optimizing resource allocation.

Transforming Elder Health with Intelligent Systems
AI is revolutionizing geriatric care by enabling proactive health monitoring and personalized interventions. Systems like this vision-based assessment are crucial for early detection of conditions such as frailty, which can significantly reduce the risk of falls, hospitalizations, and long-term care needs. By providing objective, real-time data, AI empowers healthcare providers to deliver more targeted and effective care, improving the quality of life for older adults and easing the burden on caregivers.
Behind the Scenes: Kinect, ML, and Real-time Processing
The proposed system harnesses the power of computer vision with a Microsoft Kinect V2 depth sensor for markerless joint tracking. This data feeds into specialized machine learning models (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, SVM, KNN, XGBoost) meticulously trained for each of the six physical frailty tests. The backend, developed in C++14, ensures real-time data processing, while Python-based ML models provide high-accuracy classifications (98-100%). The system outputs include structured CSV data and intuitive radar charts, seamlessly integrating advanced AI into a user-friendly clinical workflow.

Average Real-time Inference Time Per Test
With an average inference time significantly below the 50ms threshold for real-time systems, the platform ensures efficient and immediate feedback for all physical frailty tests.
Enhancing Geriatric Care with AI
The successful integration of six standardized physical frailty tests into a single, automated, contactless system provides a powerful tool for healthcare providers. This approach not only streamlines assessment but also offers a more objective and consistent evaluation of an older adult's physical capabilities.
Challenge: Traditional frailty assessments often suffer from subjectivity, time consumption, and lack of scalability, making routine screening challenging, especially in diverse care settings. Relying on manual measurements and interpretation can lead to inconsistencies and delayed interventions.
Solution: Our vision-based system automates the data collection and analysis using a Kinect V2 sensor and test-specific machine learning models. This eliminates observer bias, provides real-time quantitative metrics (e.g., reach distance, balance time, walking speed), and classifies frailty levels with high accuracy.
Outcome: Healthcare professionals receive immediate, comprehensive insights into a patient's physical frailty profile through intuitive radar charts and detailed reports. This enables earlier, data-driven interventions to mitigate risks like falls and functional decline, ultimately improving quality of life for older adults. The system's affordability also makes it suitable for widespread adoption in clinics, community centers, and even home-care environments.
