We propose a real-time mechanism to extract and track patients facial features effectively. When camera facing the patient&#8217;s face, we will use our DRK (Dynamic Radial Kernel) mechanism to record and match facial features. Then we will collect the information of the patient&#8217;s face. It could be provided to doctors for diagnostic aiding. For patients, this mechanism can bring a track record as well as warning function. We hope that this mechanism can provide valuable features of the health-care application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keywords:&nbsp;Face Tracking; Feature Extracting; Feature Matching; Health Care<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tkuwpbs5-bs5-div ref_ol\" data-aos=\"normal\">\n<ol>\n<li>[1] Chen, W.
