HEADSET SYSTEM FOR BIOMEDICAL IMAGING FOR EARLY TUMOR DETECTION
An independent wearable biomedical imaging system for early tumor detection the system including a physician headset having a graphical display in wireless communication with a patient headset having a left and right camera. The physician headset includes a map template database disposed in the memory storage drive including data specifying anatomical location of a patient tumor using sclera scans of a patient sclera and iris received from the patient headset. The physician can visually access the sclera scans from the patient headset camera and overlay with the map template to compare patient scan biomarkers with the map data. The physician may use the results in indicating strong genotype predisposition to tumors and tumor formation. The system algorithm would continue to amass biodata in the datasets helping the physician to increase accuracy in generating eye reports and statistical probability of tumor as well as genetic marker predisposition of the same.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING INTRA-OCULAR PRESSURE
A system for determining an lop of a subject includes a pressurizing device for applying pressure of varying magnitude over an external surface of an eye of the subject; a monitoring device for monitoring internal vasculature of the eye and vasculature on or around the eye; and a processing unit for correlating a first pressure or pressure range with pulsation or collapse of the internal vasculature of the eye and a second pressure or pressure range with pulsation or collapse of the vasculature on or around the eye to thereby derive the IOP of the subject.
Planar waveguide apparatus with diffraction element(s) and system employing same
A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

System and method of utilizing computer-aided identification with medical procedures
The disclosure provides a system that may receive an identification of a first patient; may retrieve, based at least on the identification of the first patient, first eye identification information that includes a first plurality of iris structures associated with a first eye of the first patient; may determine a second plurality of iris structures of an eye of a current patient; may determine if the second plurality of iris structures match the first plurality of iris structures; if the second plurality of iris structures match the first plurality of iris structures, may provide an indication that the first eye has been correctly identified; and if the second plurality of iris structures do match the first plurality of iris structures, may provide an indication that the first eye has not been correctly identified.
