Systems and methods for using eye movements to determine states

A system, comprising:

• a sensing arrangement including a camera that collects eye movement data of a user;
• an alerting arrangement that produces one of a visual, an audio, and a vibrational alert to the user in response to receipt of an alert signal;
• and
• a control unit in communication with the sensing arrangement and the alerting arrangement, the control unit comprising processing hardware configured to analyze the eye movement data and generate the alert signal, including:
• a data analysis module configured to extract one or more current eye movement dynamics from the eye movement data;
• and
• a comparison module configured to receive the one or more current eye movement dynamics from the data analysis module and compare the one or more current eye movement dynamics to one or more baseline eye movement dynamics accessible by the control unit, and to send the alert signal to the alerting arrangement in response to a determination that one or more of the compared current eye movement dynamics diverges from one or more of the baseline eye movement dynamics by a threshold amount indicating one of onset and presence of hypoxia in the user.
