Abstract
Systems, devices and methods are provided that provide assistance in selecting appropriate interventions for treatment of disease and injury to the eye. Systems of the inventive concept provide cloud-based processing and storage of clinical and patient-specific data, which can provide treatment recommendations and projected outcomes to a practitioner using a local device. Systems, devices, and methods can generate interactive physiomechanical models of the eye of a specified individual, which are derived measurements of mechanical properties of structures of the eye. The physiomechanical model is interactive, and can be used to emulate the effects of one or more medical interventions in the eye in order to implement an optimized treatment plan for the individual.
Claims26
A system for assisting a user in performance of an ophthalmic surgery on an eye of a patient, comprising:
- a user interface communicatively coupled to an input/output interface, and configured to communicate with a user device;
- a database comprising a patient database, a clinical database, and a procedure database, wherein the database is communicatively coupled to the input/output interface, and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the input/output interface and the database, wherein the processor comprises an algorithm providing a physiomechanical model of the eye or a portion of the eye,
- wherein at least one of the input/output interface, the database, and the processor are cloud-based.
A method of assisting a user in performance of an ophthalmic surgery on an eye of a patient, comprising;
- accessing planning module of an input/output interface that is communicatively coupled to a database and a processor, wherein the input/output interface comprises an algorithm assist, and wherein the database comprises a patient database, a clinical database, and a procedure database;
- inputting a desired outcome from the ophthalmic surgery via the input/output interface;
- determining a recommended procedure using a machine learning algorithm of the processor and data from the patient, clinical, and procedure databases;
- and
- transmitting the recommended procedure to the input/output interface,
- wherein at least one of the input/output interface, the database, and the processor are cloud-based.
A method of assisting a user in performance of an ophthalmic surgery on an eye of a patient, comprising:
- physically characterizing the eye to determine at least a first density and at least a first dimension of a structure of the eye;
- applying the determined density(ies) and dimension(s) to derive a physiomechanical model representative of the structure the eye or its anatomy;
- receiving from the user a selection of a selected ophthalmic procedure;
- applying the selected ophthalmic procedure to the physiomechanical model to predict an effect of applying the selected ophthalmic procedure to the structure of the eye;
- and
- providing the user with a representation of the predicted effect of the selected ophthalmic procedure when applied to the structure of the eye,
- wherein the physiomechanical model is derived from a mechanical property of the eye or a portion thereof within an anatomical context.
A laser system comprising:
- a femtosecond laser for delivering a femtosecond laser beam to an eye;
- a modeling system comprising a modeling engine and a patient data base;
- the patient data base configured to receive a determined density characterization of a structure of the eye and a determined dimensional characterization of the structure of the eye;
- and
- a graphic user interface (GUI), configured to receive an input from a user and display an output from the modeling system;
- the input comprising a selected procedure,
- wherein the modeling system is configured to:
- derive a physiomechanical model representation of the structure of the eye based upon the determined density characterization of the structure of the eye received by the patient data base, the determined dimensional characterization of the structure of the eye received by the patient data base, or both;
- receive from the GUI the selected procedure;
- apply the selected procedure to the physiomechanical model representation and thereby derive a predicted effect of the selected procedure on the structure of the eye;
- and,
- provide a representation of the predicted effect to the GUI.
