Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods link time-stamped OCT scan data of a patient's retina in a database to a biometric identifier for the patient. An appropriately trained artificial intelligence (AI) computer system determines whether the patient has an eye disease based on the differences between time-stamped OCT scan data for the patient from different time scans.
Claims27
A system comprising:
- a back-end computer system that comprises a computer database system;
- and
- a plurality of distributed OCT scanning systems, wherein each OCT scanning system comprises:
- an OCT scanner for generating OCT scan data of a patient;
- a biometric scanner for generating a biometric scan data of the patient;
- and
- a local computer that is in communication with the back-end computer system, the OCT scanner and the biometric scanner,
- wherein:
- the local computer for each of the plurality of distributed OCT scanning systems is configured to transmit time-stamped OCT scan data and the biometric scan data for a patient to the back-end computer system;
- and
- the back-end computer system is configured to store the time-stamped OCT scan data for the patient in the computer database system such that the time-stamped OCT scan data for the patient are linked to the biometric scan data for the patient.
8 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a back-end computer system, from a first OCT scanning system that is one of a plurality of distributed OCT scanning systems, biometric scan data and first, time-stamped OCT scan data for a patient, wherein the biometric scan data and the first, time-stamped OCT scan data are captured by the first OCT scanning system;
- searching, by the back-end computer system, a computer database system of the back-end computer system for a match for the patient's biometric scan data;
- upon finding a match for the patient's biometric scan data, storing, by the back-end computer system in the computer database system of the back-end computer system, the patient's first, time-stamped OCT scan data such that the first, time-stamped OCT scan data for the patient are linked to the biometric scan data for the patient.
