Augmented reality pulse oximetry

One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a head-mounted member removably coupleable to the user's head; one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to emit light with at least two different wavelengths toward at least one of the eyes of the user; one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to receive light reflected after encountering at least one blood vessel of the eye; and a controller operatively coupled to the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters and detectors and configured to cause the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters to emit pulses of light while also causing the one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors to detect levels of light absorption related to the emitted pulses of light, and to produce an output that is proportional to an oxygen saturation level in the blood vessel.

Monocular and binocular relative focal photo-stress
11026573 · 2021-06-08 ·

Photo-stress by focal light bleaches the retina and temporarily reduced retinal function. Recovery from suppression is measurable by monocular and binocular endpoints, when recovery is prolonged a disease is suspected. The monocular endpoint is the moment the dark central afterimage representing the macula becomes the same brightness as the peripheral ring representing unstimulated retina and the binocular endpoint is brightness equality of rivalrous stimuli. Four embodiments are described for measuring relative brightness sense photo-stress utilizing monocular and binocular methodology.

IN-DIRECT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY DETECTION
20210137377 · 2021-05-13 ·

The present invention relates to indirect diagnosis of deficiency of Vitamin A, without taking blood sample. The instrument combines two simple principles for full functionality, An individual having Vitamin A deficiency can be differentiated from a healthy person on 2 basis: (1) The ability to clearly identify pictorial representation of an object in the environment having low amount of light intensity; and (2) The time being taken for eyes to adapt to a significantly different lighting situation. The standardization of the instrument has to be done in nearby area in relatively healthy population having rich diet in vitamin A or it is to be adopted based on findings of other area, The diagnosis can be confirmed after repeating the same set of tests, after giving vitamin A in appropriate dosages, and allowing enough time to pass for that dosage to take an effect (generally, 1 to 2 weeks).

Photobleaching method

The present disclosure provides an improved method for photobleaching an eye of a subject. The disclosed method may be used in a number of psychophysical test methods, including, but not limited to, measurement of dark adaptation. The improved method for photobleaching involves at least one of the following improvements: (i) the use of a bleaching light emitting a particular wavelength of light or a tailored spectrum of wavelengths; (ii) restricting or otherwise spatially tailoring the region of the retina that is subject to photobleaching; and (iii) utilizing a bleaching light having an intensity that is at or below the intensity of ambient daylight. The present disclosure additionally provides a combination of a photobleaching light and an apparatus to administer a psychophysical test suitable for use in practicing the disclosed methods.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING RELATIVE AFFERENT PUPILLARY DEFECTS
20230404388 · 2023-12-21 ·

Methods and systems for administering a modular and/or flexible eye test to patients are presented that leverages on the visualization, processing, and eye tracking capabilities of a head mounted display (HMD). In an embodiment, a method for evaluating the pupillary responses includes using a head mounted display (HMD) worn by a patient to expose a first eye to light stimulation in accordance with a relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPD) eye test, an imaging device of the HMD receiving image data of the first eye, then exposing a second eye to the same RAPD eye test and receiving image data of the second eye, and generating at least one test result by using the image data of the first eye and the image data of the second eye.
