Abstract
A camera coupled to a processor is disclosed. The camera is configured to capture images of the subject. The processor is configured to amplify microscopic temporal variations between the images of the subject and generate a profile of at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissues of the subject. The processor is further configured to compare the profile of the subject to a pre-existing profile of the subject and/or an aggregate profile of a plurality of third-party subjects, said aggregate profile corresponding to the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the third-party subjects, the aggregate third-party profile corresponding to a known state of the tissue of the third-party subjects.
Claims25
A wearable device configured to monitor a physiological condition of a subject, comprising:
- a wearable camera having a coupling member configured to attach the camera to a portion of the subject, the camera configured to capture a plurality of images of a portion of a tissue of the subject;
- a processor in communication with the camera, said processor comprising executable code configured to amplify microscopic temporal variations between the plurality of images of the tissue of the subject and generate a profile of at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissue of the subject and store the profile in a database;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to compare the profile of the tissue of the subject with a database corresponding to previous profiles of the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissue of the subject.

A device configured for in-vivo monitoring of the tissue of a subject, comprising:
- an elongate medical device configured for placement into a portion of a body of the subject;
- a camera disposed about a distal end of the elongate medical device, the camera configured to capture a plurality of images of tissue within the body of the subject;
- a processor coupled to the camera, said processor comprising executable code configured to amplify microscopic temporal variations between the plurality of images of the tissue of the subject and generate a profile of at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissue of the subject;
- wherein said processor is further configured to compare the profile of the tissue of the subject to an aggregate profile of a first plurality of third-party subjects, said aggregate profile of the first plurality of third-party subjects corresponding to the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of tissues of the first plurality of third-party subjects, the tissues of the first plurality of third-party subjects having a normal health state;
- wherein the processor is further configured to compare the profile of the tissue of the subject to an aggregate profile of a second plurality of third-party subjects, said aggregate profile of the second plurality of third-party subjects corresponding to the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects, the tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects having a known diseased state;
- and
- wherein said processor is further configured to detect differences between the profile of the tissue of the subject and the aggregate profile of the first plurality of third-party subjects and the aggregate profile of the second plurality of third-party subjects and determine a probability that a state of the subject's tissue corresponds to the diseased state of the tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects.

A non-destructive method for predicting diseased states of live tissues through optical measurements, comprising:
- positioning a camera about an area of live tissue of a subject, wherein said camera is in communication with a processor configured to receive and process image data of the tissue, said processor comprising executable code configured to amplify microscopic temporal variations between a plurality of images of the tissue and generate a profile of at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissue;
- receiving image data of the tissue through the camera and amplifying microscopic temporal variations between the plurality of images of the tissue;
- generating a profile of at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of the tissue;
- comparing the profile of the live tissue to an aggregate profile of a first plurality of live tissues of third-party subjects, said aggregate profile of the first plurality of the third-party subjects corresponding to the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of live tissues of the first plurality of third-party subjects, said live tissues of the first plurality of third-party subjects having a normal health state;
- comparing the profile of the live tissue to an aggregate profile of a second plurality of live tissues of third-party subjects, said aggregate profile of the second plurality of third-party subjects corresponding to the at least one microscopic temporally detected physiological variation of live tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects, said live tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects having a known diseased state;
- and
- determining a probability that the live tissue of the subject corresponds to the diseased state of the live tissues of the second plurality of third-party subjects.
