Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for the enhanced monitoring of visual function via telemedicine to detect early onset of changes and abnormalities associated with disease. The systems include a cloud environment or neural network communicating various tests and images to a client device in which a user/patient is properly positioned to view a display of the client device, receive stimuli, and provide patient input which is evaluated in terms of timing and substance to generate a contrast-sensitivity map of a visual function for the patient. Various ocular tests are described for implementation in a new home-based computer environment rather than using expensive and specific medical equipment in a doctor's office.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from a cloud environment over the Internet and to a client device outside of a formal medical office, a graphical perimetry test that interrogates 0-100 degrees of a patient visual field of a patient, wherein the graphical perimetry test comprises an animated element which enhances patient concentration and maintains gaze direction of the patient, wherein the animated element is presented on the client device in a continuously dynamic manner for at least a part of the graphical perimetry test;
- transmitting, from the cloud environment to the client device, respective graphical stimuli at various periphery locations as part of the graphical perimetry test;
- receiving, from the client device, respective patient input in response to the respective graphical stimuli;
- and
- generating, at the cloud environment and based on the respective patient input, a contrast-sensitivity map of a visual function for the patient.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting, over the Internet and to a client device outside of a formal medical office, a graphical perimetry test that interrogates 0-100 degrees of a patient visual field of a patient, wherein the graphical perimetry test comprises an animated element which enhances patient concentration and maintains gaze direction of the patient, wherein the animated element is presented on the client device in a continuously dynamic manner for at least a part of the graphical perimetry test;
- transmitting, to the client device, respective graphical stimuli at various periphery locations as part of the graphical perimetry test;
- receiving, from the client device, respective patient input in response to the respective graphical stimuli;
- and
- generating, based on the respective patient input, a contrast-sensitivity map of a visual function for the patient.
