Camera/video adaptation system, method, and kit for binocular indirect ophthalmoscope device
20220322937 · 2022-10-13 ·

A system for retrofitting a legacy binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO) device with a camera includes an assembly with a mechanism for attaching to a mounting bracket of the BIO device in place of a teaching mirror. The assembly houses a beam splitter, which allows a portion of light from a viewing target to enter an entrance aperture of the BIO device while reflecting another portion of the light. A positioning mechanism positions the camera such that the light that is reflected by the beam splitter is directed to and captured by the camera to generate image data providing the same view(s) of the viewing target as presented via the BIO device. The image data is stored and/or wirelessly broadcast to viewing devices. The capture/storage functionality is activated via an actuator housed with a condensing lens for the BIO device and/or via a voice control module based on recognized voice commands.

Wearable monitoring devices with passive and active filtering

A wearable device includes a housing with a window and an electronic module supported by the housing. The electronic module includes a photoplethysmography sensor, a motion sensor, and a signal processor that processes signals from the motion sensor and signals from the photoplethysmography sensor. The signal processor is configured to remove frequency bands from the photoplethysmography sensor signals that are outside of a range of interest using a band-pass filter to produce pre-conditioned signals, and to further process the pre-conditioned signals using the motion sensor signals to reduce motion artifacts from footsteps during subject running. The device includes non-air light transmissive material in optical communication with the photoplethysmography sensor and the window that serves as a light guide for the photoplethysmography sensor. The window optically exposes the photoplethysmography sensor to a body of a subject wearing the device via the non-air light transmissive material.

Instrument for acquiring co-registered orthogonal fluorescence and photoacoustic volumetric projections of tissue and methods of its use

Disclosed are instruments and methods for acquiring co-registered orthogonal fluorescence and photoacoustic volumetric projections of an interrogated object. In an embodiment, an instrument includes a rotary mechanism configured to rotate an interrogated object relative to an array of photoacoustic transducers and an optical detector. An optical excitation unit is configured to irradiate the interrogated object with pulses of light, inducing both fluorescence and photoacoustic responses inside the interrogated object at each of a plurality of rotational positions. The array of photoacoustic transducers includes unfocused elements arranged in a pattern along an axis of rotation, the elements configured to detect photoacoustic signals generated inside the volume of the interrogated object. The optical detector is arranged opposite to the array of photoacoustic transducers with respect to the axis of rotation and is configured to register sources of fluorescence excited inside the interrogated object. Each of the optical excitation axes form with each of the optical detection axes, and with each of the photoacoustic detection axes, angles that are between 60° and 90° so as to enable acquisition of co-registered orthogonal fluorescence and photoacoustic volumetric projections of the interrogated object.

The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus such as a smartphone.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION METHOD

The invention relates to a method for recommending cosmetics, skin care products and/or dermatological products that are adapted to the condition of the skin.

SYMPTOM RECORDING APPARATUS, SYMPTOM RECORDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A symptom recording apparatus includes a control unit configured to perform control to output guidance on a method for confirming a body symptom of a user, receive an input operation of a confirmation result of the body symptom, and record the received confirmation result.

Directed control transfer for autonomous vehicles

Techniques are described for cognitive analysis for directed control transfer for autonomous vehicles. In-vehicle sensors are used to collect cognitive state data for an individual within a vehicle which has an autonomous mode of operation. The cognitive state data includes infrared, facial, audio, or biosensor data. One or more processors analyze the cognitive state data collected from the individual to produce cognitive state information. The cognitive state information includes a subset or summary of cognitive state data, or an analysis of the cognitive state data. The individual is scored based on the cognitive state information to produce a cognitive scoring metric. A state of operation is determined for the vehicle. A condition of the individual is evaluated based on the cognitive scoring metric. Control is transferred between the vehicle and the individual based on the state of operation of the vehicle and the condition of the individual.

Techniques for remotely controlling a medical device based on image data

A system and a method for remotely controlling a medical device based on image data are disclosed. The system includes a medical device, an image sensor, and a remote caregiver interface. The medical device includes a controller coupled to a communication network. The image sensor is coupled to the communication network and is configured to capture image data. The remote caregiver interface is coupled to the communication network and is configured to display the image data for viewing by a user, receive a selected remote control function from the user, and transmit an input signal corresponding to the selected remote control function to the controller of the medical device to execute the selected remote control function based on the input signal.

Approach for measuring capillary refill time

The capillary refill time (CRT) of a patient is an important feature in the determination of cardiovascular system health. Quick re-perfusion of the microcirculation (namely, the capillaries) is a good indication that the cardiovascular system is able to efficiently distribute blood throughout the body. Current systems use unreliable or subjective methods to test the CRT. Additionally, the calculation of CRT is not generally used in the adult medical space as it is more commonly used in pediatrics. The present application describes a system and method for calculating a patient's CRT using a mobile device with an integrated camera and light source, or an optical head-mounted display using a light source in combination with ambient light to calculate the CRT. Once a patient's CRT is calculated, an integrated application classifies the data and sends it to the treating clinician for review.
