Systems And Methods For Optical Evaluation Of Pupillary Psychosensory Responses
20230052100 · 2023-02-16 ·

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for measuring and analyzing pupillary psychosensory responses. An electronic device is configured to receive video data with at least two frames. The electronic device then locates one or more eye objects in the video data and determine pupil and iris sizes of the one or more eye objects. The electronic device determines the pupillary psychosensory responses of the one or more eye objects by tracking a ratio of pupil diameter to iris diameter throughout the video. Several metrics for the pupillary psychosensory responses can be determined (e.g., velocity of change of the ratio, peak to peak amplitude of the change in ratio over time, etc.). These metrics can be used as measures of an individual's cognitive ability and mental health in a single session or tracked throughout multiple sessions.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EARLY DIAGNOSTICS AND PROGNOSTICS OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT USING HYBRID MACHINE LEARNING

A system and method for predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) related diagnosis and prognosis utilizing hybrid machine learning. More specifically, the system and method produce predictions of MCI conversions to dementia and prognosis related thereof. Using available medical imaging and non-imaging data a diagnosis and prognosis model is trained using transfer learning. A platform may then receive a request from a clinician for a target patient's diagnosis or prognosis. The target patient's medical data is retrieved and used to create a model for the target patient. Then details of the target patient's model and the diagnosis and prognosis model are compared, a prediction is generated, and the prediction is returned to the clinician. As new medical data becomes available it is fed into the respective model to improve accuracy and update predictions.
