Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are directed to skin test reading devices that include a housing and a short wave infrared (SWIR) detector. The SWIR detector can include a lens configured to enable the SWIR detector to capture an image of a skin testing area of a patient. The SWIR detector can be configured to detect a wheal formed on the skin testing area of the patient. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to methods of reading a skin test and skin test reading systems.
Claims20
A skin test reading device, comprising:
- a short wave infrared (SWIR) detector including a lens configured to enable the SWIR detector to capture an image of a skin testing area of a patient;
- wherein the SWIR detector is configured to detect a wheal formed on the skin testing area of the patient.
A method of reading a skin test, comprising:
- providing a skin test reading device, the skin test reading device including a short wave infrared (SWIR) detector including a lens;
- directing the SWIR detector at a skin testing area of a patient;
- and
- capturing an image of the skin testing area of the patient with the SWIR detector;
- wherein the SWIR detector is configured to detect a wheal formed on the skin testing area of the patient.
