A Conceptual Vector-Based Perspective on Progressive Facial Aging

Lucio Tunesi

Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by progressive structural and functional changes involving skin, soft tissues, muscles, and skeletal support. Current conceptual models primarily rely on static anatomical descriptions and regional assessment scales that evaluate visible signs such as wrinkles, folds, and volume loss. Although these approaches provide useful clinical reference points, they may only partially capture the dynamic interactions between muscular activity, tissue aging, and gravitati …

Deep learning-based physical exercise assessment of older adults using single-camera videos

Vayalet Stefanova, Evelien Maeyens, Jeroen Brughmans, Dimitri Vargemidis, Julien Lebleu, Leen Stulens, Sanne Broeder, Karen Gilis, Mieke Deschodt, Benedicte Vanwanseele, David Beckwée, Moran Gilat, Benjamin Filtjens, Bart Vanrumste

Regular physical activity preserves functional independence in older adults, yet care-home residents often miss out because personalized supervision is scarce. Autonomous, technology-supported exercise platforms could deliver such guidance without additional staff time—but only if sessions are automatically monitored for safety and quality. We therefore designed a deep learning (DL) system that (a) recognizes individual exercise types and (b) estimates joint angle trajectories from a standard video recording. These …
