Abstract
The present disclosure provides for an ophthalmic testing system that may prescreen for ophthalmic diseases and systemic diseases. In some embodiments, an OTS may provide general screening results and relatives scores to patients that may be at risk for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, or Alzheimer's. In some implementations, the OTS may offer self-screening features without collecting personal information that may identify the individual. In some embodiments, the OTS may use artificial intelligence and machine learning and machine learning to provide accurate and instant analysis and results to a user.
Claims17
A method of diagnosing a disease risk using a self-administered ophthalmic testing system, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. prompting a patient to enter into a touchscreen health information about the patient, wherein the touchscreen is in logical connection with a processor, a memory, and an imaging device;
- b. recording, via the imaging device, a first image of at least one of the patient's retinas;
- c. storing the first image in the memory;
- d. transforming, via the processor, the first image into a first rasterized image;
- e. creating a second rasterized image through machine learning processing;
- f. comparing a component of the first rasterized image to a component of the second rasterized image;
- and
- g. based upon the comparison of the first and second rasterized images, causing the touchscreen to display a diagnosis of the disease risk.
