Eye Examination Method and System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240225442 titled 'Eye Examination Method and System
The abstract describes a patent application for a system that allows for clinical-quality eye examinations to be conducted remotely from a physician and outside of a traditional clinical setting. A portable optical device and corresponding software are provided to the patient's location, allowing them to self-conduct an eye or vision exam and take optical measurements. The software can upload and live stream the measurement data to the physician based on the type of data or health considerations of the patient. The software can also enable the physician to participate in the exam via video conference, or provide guidance and assessments through artificial intelligence resources.
- Portable optical device and software for remote eye examinations
- Upload and live streaming of measurement data to physician
- Video conference participation for physician during exam
- Artificial intelligence guidance and assessments available
- Alignment assistance for remote exams
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be used for remote healthcare services, telemedicine, rural healthcare access, and home-based eye exams.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the challenges of accessing quality eye care in remote locations, providing convenience for patients and enabling timely assessments by healthcare providers.
- Benefits:**
The benefits of this technology include improved access to eye care, convenience for patients, timely assessments, and potential cost savings for healthcare providers.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Remote Eye Examination System for Telemedicine and Home Healthcare This technology can be commercially used by telemedicine companies, healthcare providers, and medical device manufacturers to offer remote eye care services to patients.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does the software ensure the accuracy of the optical measurements taken by the patient? 2. What are the potential limitations of conducting remote eye exams using this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
clinical-quality eye examinations are provided at locations remote from the physician and outside of a clinical setting. a portable optical device and corresponding software are delivered to the patient's location. the portable optical device is configured for patient use in self-conducting an eye or vision exam and taking optical measurements. as a function of type of optical measurement data or health consideration of the patient, the corresponding software provides uploading and live streaming of the optical measurement data to the physician. the corresponding software is executed during the patient conducting the eye (vision) exam and enables the remotely located physician, to participate in the same via video conference. alternatively, an artificial intelligence resource operating remotely or locally can provide physician-type guidance and eye health assessments. alignment of device and patient eyes can be facilitated for remote exams.
