Visual Perception of Pain in Neonatal Face Images
Abstract
More than 500 painful intervetions are carried out during the hospitalization of a newborn baby in an intensive medical care unit. In these situations, there is, however, a challenging difficulty to identify pain, owing to the unlikeliness of direct and objective verbal communication commonly used among adults. This work is part of an on-going research that aims to develop a computational framework to interpreting and recognizing patterns on face images for automatic assessment of neonatal procedural pain. We believe that such investigation might provide relevant information to understand the relation between neonatal facial features and procedural pain and, consequently, helping health professionals in the corresponding clinical practice.
