Japanese IT and electronics company NEC Corporation and Tokyo Medical and Dental University have developed an AI-based technology to support individuals possibly dealing with chronic lower back pain by automatically estimating its causes.

Firstly, the digital tool automatically estimates the human skeletal pose structure from an image taken with a smart device. It utilises 2D/3D human pose estimation technology by NEC which can provide "highly accurate" human pose estimation, even from images taken at various angles. 

It then looks at the relationship between body parts, such as the angle between the pelvis and thighs, to evaluate their conditions (for example, if there is insufficient, moderate, or excessive joint flexion). The technology also considers the relationship between body parts and the shape of the back, which conventional technologies cannot do at present, NEC claims. 

It also estimates the cause of the CLBP by using a proprietary abductive reasoning technology to process image and interview data, coupled with medical knowledge fed by TMDU. Developed using a Satisfiability Assessment Problem solver, the abductive reasoning technology enables this rapid estimation within an "average of 10 seconds."
