Abstract

Claims (78)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining a first metric of a physiological aspect of a patient, the first metric obtained at a first time by a head-wearable apparatus while the head-wearable apparatus is worn by the patient;

determining a value for a parameter of the head-wearable apparatus based on the first metric and the second metric; and

setting the parameter in the head-wearable apparatus to the determined value for the parameter;

wherein the first and second metrics are selected from the group consisting of: preferred retinal locus, lateral and vertical fusional reserves, cyclotorsion, aniseikonia, stereopsis, and central retinal visual defect detection.

providing the first metric and the second metric as input to a machine learning model, the machine learning model being trained according to historical metrics and corresponding values for the parameter, wherein responsive to the input, the machine learning model provides as output the value for the parameter of the head-wearable apparatus.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a time value based on the first time and the second time; and

determining the value for the parameter of the head-wearable apparatus based on the first metric, the second metric, and the determined time value.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological aspect of a patient comprises one or more of:

an aspect related to the vision of the patient, or

an aspect related to the hearing of the patient.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a change in a condition of the patient based on the first metric and the second metric; and

determining the value for the parameter of the head-wearable apparatus based on the determined change in the condition of the patient.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the condition of the patient comprises one or more of:

a visual condition of the patient;

an auditory condition of the patient;

a cognitive condition of the patient; or

a psychological condition of the patient.

8 . A system, comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a first metric of a physiological aspect of a patient, the first metric obtained at a first time by a head-wearable apparatus while the head-wearable apparatus is worn by the patient;

obtaining a second metric of the physiological aspect of a patient, the second metric obtained at a second time by the head-wearable apparatus while the head-wearable apparatus is worn by the patient, wherein the second metric is different than the first metric, wherein the second time is later than the first time;

determining a value for a parameter of the head-wearable apparatus based on the first metric and the second metric; and

setting the parameter in the head-wearable apparatus to the determined value for the parameter;

wherein the first and second metrics are selected from the group consisting of: preferred retinal locus, lateral and vertical fusional reserves, cyclotorsion, aniseikonia, stereopsis, and central retinal visual defect detection.
