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.

Claims (13)

1 . A method of assisting a user in performance of an ophthalmic surgery on an eye of a patient, comprising;

accessing a 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 ophthalmic 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.

2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising generating a physiomechanical model of the eye or a portion thereof.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the desired outcome is inputted by interaction of the user with the physiomechanical model.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the recommended procedure is communicated to the user via the physiomechanical model.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the database comprises a practitioner database, and wherein the recommended procedure is determined in part by data from the practitioner database.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the database comprises an instrument database, and wherein the recommended procedure is determine in part by data from the instrument database.

7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising transmitting a probable outcome of the recommended procedure to the input/output interface.

8 . The method of claim 7 , comprising inputting a modification to the recommended procedure based on the probable outcome to generate revised procedure and a revised outcome, and transmitting the revised outcome to the input/output interface when the probable outcome is not acceptable.
