The present invention provides an analysis and method of quantifying the severity of skin diseases through the skin exhibited entropy. Quantitative analysis and evaluation of skin is a new, non-invasive, quick, and reproducible method of assessing skin disease and skin disease progression. The quantitative analysis of the skin disease applies a entropy algorithm to quantify the severity of the disease and compared to healthy skin. The method is applied in determination of the severity of the skin disease or applied to determine the effectiveness of the subsequent treatment modalities. It is highly reproducible and removes physician's own bias and past experience.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating cross section views of a wound, the operations including receiving 3D information of a wound based on information captured using an image sensor associated with an image plane substantially parallel to the wound; generating a cross section view of the wound by analyzing the 3D information; and providing data configured to cause a presentation of the generated cross section view of the wound.

An electronic device includes a display panel and a biometric information module. The display panel includes red-light emitting elements, green-light emitting elements, blue-light emitting elements, and light receiving elements that are spaced from each other. The blue-light emitting elements emit blue light in a biometric information mode of the electronic device. The light receiving elements receive at least one of red light and green light in the biometric information mode of the electronic device after the blue-light emitting elements have emitted the blue light. The light receiving elements generate electrical signals in response to the at least one of the red light and the green light. The biometric information module is electrically connected to the display panel and generates biometric information about a skin of a user based on the electrical signals.

A dressing for a wound includes a drape, an absorbent core, and a wicking member. The drape can be configured to sealingly couple with a patient's skin surrounding the wound. The drape may enclose an inner volume of the dressing. The absorbent core layer may be positioned within the inner volume of the dressing. The wicking member is positioned within the inner volume, wherein the wicking member extends from an underside of the absorbent core layer to the drape. The indicator may be configured to fluidly couple with the wicking member through the drape and receive fluid from the wicking member. The indicator may be configured to provide a visual wound status indication in response to receiving fluid from the wound through the wicking member.

The present invention provides for a new system and method for diagnosing skin cancer that provides for a more effective analysis of changes in skin tissue due to the duality of acquiring visual data and transforming such visual into an audio signal. The conversion of complicated patterns of visual information of a skin lesion by a computer aided classification analysis into diagnostic sounds results in a much higher resolution rate and increased precision of diagnosis.

The present invention provides a method for determining a sensitivity to ultraviolet light non-invasively and immediately. A method for determining a UV sensitivity is provided involving: a step of irradiating the skin of a test subject with ultraviolet light to determine the UV sensitivity using the amount of biophotons to be detected within a specific period after the irradiation, wherein 50% or more of the specific period overlaps a period from 1 to 3 minutes after the irradiation.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to ultraweak photon emission imaging systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method comprises acquiring an ultraweak photon emission image of a target area of a patient for detection of a pathological condition; wherein the target area comprises an area of interest and a portion surrounding the area of interest, wherein acquiring the image comprises: enhancing formation of reactive oxygen species and/or reactive nitrogen species in the target area, wherein enhancing formation of the reactive oxygen species and/or the reactive nitrogen species comprises applying low level light illumination to the target area from 1 second to 60 minutes so as to achieve a total power output from 1 mW to 10,000 W using an average power density from 0.1 W/cm.sup.2 to 1 W/cm.sup.2; and imaging the target area, wherein imaging the target area comprises a total exposure time from 1 second to 60 minutes.

A computer-implemented method for obtaining thermal image data of a body part and a thermal imager are disclosed. The method comprises receiving image data of a body part, the image data including thermal image data, the thermal image data including thermal image data of the body part and background thermal image data, applying a classifier to the image data to detect a profile of the body part, the classifier being configured to use image data other than the thermal image data to perform the detection, generating a mask from said profile, and applying the mask to the thermal image data to remove the background thermal image data and obtain thermal image data of the body part.

An apparatus and method to assist making treatment decisions for burn injuries. The apparatus will leverage computational imaging methodologies with conventional thermographic analysis techniques. Using infrared sensors, computational image analysis, and burn assessment using thermographic imaging, a complete burn assessment imaging device can be fabricated entirely from commercially-available components. This device will use advanced software paired with a smartphone-mounted infrared camera to perform a detailed thermographic analysis using a burn triage algorithm.

A digital loupe system is provided which can include a number of features. In one embodiment, the digital loupe system can include a stereo camera pair and a distance sensor. The system can further include a processor configured to perform a transformation to image signals from the stereo camera pair based on a distance measurement from the distance sensor and from camera calibration information. In some examples, the system can use the depth information and the calibration information to correct for parallax between the cameras to provide a multi-channel image. Ergonomic head mounting systems are also provided. In some implementations, the head mounting systems can be configurable to support the weight of a digital loupe system, including placing one or two oculars in a line of sight with an eye of a user, while improving overall ergonomics, including peripheral vision, comfort, stability, and adjustability. Methods of use are also provided.
