Abstract: There is described a method of assessing severity of a respiratory distress of a patient. The method generally has, using a three dimensional (3D) camera, generating at least a 3D image encompassing at least a thorax region and an abdomen region of the patient; and using a computer, accessing said 3D image; identifying thorax coordinates indicating coordinates of at least a point of the thorax region of the patient in the 3D image; identifying abdomen coordinates indicating coordinates of at least a point of the abdomen region of the patient in the 3D image; determining a thoraco-abdominal distance based on the thorax coordinates and on the abdomen coordinates; comparing the thoraco-abdominal distance with a threshold; and generating a signal based on said comparison, said signal being indicative of a degree of severity of the respiratory distress of the patient.
