Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 An overview of one embodiment of the invention is depicted. While embodiments of the present invention include feces placed in a diaper, bedpan, bedpan, commode chair, platform toilet, or other similar locations, in figure 1 In the embodiment of , an example in which feces are placed in a diaper is described. A diaper 20 containing baby feces 30 is placed on a surface 40 in an open position, and an image of the opened diaper 20 with feces 30 is captured by a user using the portable device 10 . The captured image can be used by an application running on the portable device, and the application can input the captured image into a model including a CNN that will perform a series of operations in order to obtain a classification vector, the classification vector With the probabilities of the possible scores in the stool analysis scale, a predicted score (ie the score with the highest probability) is obtained based on the classification vector. In order to obtain...

Abstract

The invention provides a method of analysing the consistency of stool, including the steps of: providing stool of an infant, capturing, with a portable device comprising a camera, an image of the stool, providing the captured image to an input layer of a pre-trained convolutional neural network, CNN, processing the captured image using the CNN to obtain, from a final layer of the CNN, a classification vector and to obtain information about a predicted score from the classification vector, wherein at least the final layer of the CNN has been customized so that each element of the classificationvector corresponds to a score of a stool analysis scale, and storing information about the predicted store.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for analyzing the consistency of a stool sample. Background technique [0002] Baby's health care is the most important task of parents. Advances in technology allow for the task of tracking a baby's development and detecting certain abnormalities quickly to help parents and caregivers. When it comes to a baby's nutrition, it's important to check for abnormalities in the baby's digestive system, or to see if the baby's body is absorbing all the nutrients it needs. [0003] To assess the capacity of the digestive system, analyzing stool patterns is known to provide good insight. The scale obtained by comparing the stool to the collection of stool analysis scale scores helps to classify the type of stool and to retrieve conclusions from it. Examples of such scales are the Bristol Stool Shape Scale (BSS) and the Amsterdam Stool Scale. The BSS consists of seven images of stools of different consisten...
