The development of a low-cost noninvasive motion capture device for use in physiotherapy clinics and as a diagnostic tool attracts enormous attention. In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of medical and healthcare applications of the Kinect v2 motion capture devices based on practical medical needs. In particular, we developed three applications: a non-contact respiration monitoring system for the diagnosis of COPD, a rehabilitation assistance system, and a three-dimensional skeletal motion viewer system.
