Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The system comprises a sensing arrangement and a control unit. The sensing arrangement collects eye movement data of a user. The control unit is in communication with the sensing arrangement and configured to compare the eye movement data to one or more baseline measurements of eye movement dynamics. The control unit is also configured to generate an alert indicating the presence or severity of the TBI for delivery to control unit administrator if the eye movement data diverges from one or more of the baseline measurements by a threshold amount.
Claims15
A system for detecting a traumatic brain injury (TBI), comprising:
- a sensing arrangement that collects eye movement data of a user;
- a control unit in communication with the sensing arrangement, the control unit being configured to:
- compare the eye movement data to one or more baseline measurements of eye movement dynamics;
- and
- if the eye movement data diverges from one or more of the baseline measurements by a threshold amount, generate an alert indicating a presence or a severity of the TBI for delivery to control unit administrator.
A method of determining a traumatic brain injury (TBI) of a user, the method comprising:
- a) recording from the user eye movement data of one or both of the user's eyes;
- b) comparing the eye movement data to one or more baseline measurements;
- and
- c) if the eye movement data diverges from one or more of the baseline measurements by a threshold amount, delivering an alert indicating a presence or a severity of the TBI to the user.
