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.

Determining the Risk of Opioid-Related Adverse Events Based on Pupillary Measurements
20230053166 · 2023-02-16 ·

The disclosure provides methods of managing opioid therapy, particularly, for pain management. The methods comprise determining in a subject, for example, a subject who has received an opioid treatment, pupillary unrest in ambient light (PUAL). Low values of PUAL can be used to identify patients at risk for opioid side-effects, such as opioid-related respiratory depression (OIRD), and who warrant attention to prevent such side effects. Accordingly, the methods include monitoring the patients having low values of PUAL for signs of adverse side-effects and/or limiting or avoiding administration of opioids.

Biomarker Prediction Using Optical Coherence Tomography

Deep learning methods and systems for detecting biomarkers within optical coherence tomography volumes using such deep learning methods and systems are provided. Embodiments predict the presence or absence of clinically useful biomarkers in OCT images using deep neural networks. The lack of available training data for canonical deep learning approaches is overcome in embodiments by leveraging a large external dataset consisting of foveal scans using transfer learning. Embodiments represent the three-dimensional OCT volume by “tiling” each slice into a single two dimensional image, and adding an additional component to encourage the network to consider local spatial structure. Methods and systems, according to embodiments are able to identify the presence or absence of AMD-related biomarkers on par with clinicians. Beyond identifying biomarkers, additional models could be trained, according to embodiments, to predict the progression of these biomarkers over time.
