Benefits of technology

This patent is about a system that can diagnose and treat autism and strabismus in young patients. It provides a real-time response to recognized conditions that is graduated and minimally distracting to patients. It integrates other stimuli and symptoms to improve diagnosis and treatment. The system can also identify trends and conditions and alert and aid physicians in treatment and analysis, as well as provoke remimiative user responses.

Problems solved by technology

Autism, a pervasive developmental disorder recognizable by physical rigidity, emotional detachment and impaired communication is both a major and a growing threat to children.

example scoring

[0147]

[0148]An example follows to explain several of the fields in the example database. It is very likely that many if not most reviewers will use only a few of the fields in any given vignette to fit their particular needs for that subset of the video. However, in this example, we will stretch the example a little to allow all of the fields to be used in the corporate scoring of many elements for the same frame. The database fields, format, interface from fields to video (or the absence thereof), and even storage elements may and will be changed by implementers with their own objectives from those discussed here. This is merely an example of how the current invention can be used.

[0149]Just to set the stage to help explain this process, we describe a video whose first 20 frames are innocuous enough and have, in the opinion of the pre-screening personnel, no scoring value. Thus no scoring data was stored for the first 20 frames Then finally, in the 21st frame a scoring opportunity w...

Abstract

Devices for recognizing and responding to Strabismus and Autism are provided herein. Eye-tracking and software analysis are used to identify adverse visual characteristics of both in real time and compelling visual feedback is used to stimulate correction as those events occur.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Ser. No. 61 / 800,511 filed Mar. 15, 2013.That application is entitled “Vision-Based Diagnosis.” The provisional application is referred to and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Strabismus, sometimes referred to as “lazy eye,” is a medical condition of the eye normally treated by disabling or otherwise interfering with the vision of the strong eye so that the patient will be forced to use the “lazy” one. Although the current treatments for Strabismus (chemically paralyzing, numbing or blocking the strong eye with an opaque patch) are unpleasant and, consequentially, irregularly applied, they can be effective if they are used consistently. Their effectiveness as a normative treatment for Strabismus appears to be related to the brain's ability, under external duress, to recognize and correct certain factors that result in poor vision.[0003]Autism, a pervasive developmental disorder recogniz...
