METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GATHERING PHYSIOMETRIC DATA FROM A DENTAL SCAN
Described herein are systems and methods for gathering physiometric data from a dental scan of a subject.
1 . A method of gathering physiometric data of a subject, comprising:
(a) providing a dental scan of an intraoral region of the subject;
(b) analyzing one or more properties of the dental scan; and
(c) generating the physiometric data of the subject based on the one or more properties of the dental scan, wherein the dental scan is acquired using a mobile digital camera and a hollow tubular adapter, wherein a first opening of the hollow tubular adapter is attached to the mobile digital camera, and wherein a second opening of the hollow tubular adapter is configured to contact lips of the subject.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile digital camera or the hollow tubular adapter comprises a light source configured to emit light in at least one of the infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV) or visible spectrum.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiometric data comprises body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate, breathing volume, blood flow, hydration, oxygen saturation, blood sugar, or blood cell volume of the subject, or any combination thereof.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more properties comprise a color, an absorbance spectra, a spectral distribution, a size, or a shape of one or more tissues in the intraoral region of the subject.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiometric data is generated during performance of the dental scan.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dental scan is provided from a data set.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating in (c) comprises comparing the dental scan to a previous dental scan of the subject.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hollow tubular adapter comprises a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the PPG sensor is configured to contact a soft tissue of the intraoral region of the subject.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hollow tubular adapter comprises one or more electrodes.
11 . A system for gathering physiometric data of a subject, comprising: a processor; a storage element connected to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to:
(a) provide a dental scan of an intraoral region of the subject;
(b) analyze one or more properties of the dental scan; and
(c) generate the physiometric data of the subject based on the one or more properties of the dental scan, wherein the dental scan is acquired using a mobile digital camera and a hollow tubular adapter, wherein a first opening of the hollow tubular adapter is attached to the mobile digital camera, and wherein a second opening of the hollow tubular adapter is configured to contact lips of the subject.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the mobile digital camera or the hollow tubular adapter comprises a light source configured to emit light in at least one of the infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV) or visible spectrum.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the physiometric data comprises body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate, breathing volume, blood flow, hydration, oxygen saturation, blood sugar, or blood cell volume of the subject, or any combination thereof.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more properties comprise a color, an absorbance spectra, a spectral distribution, a size, or a shape of one or more tissues in the intraoral region of the subject.
15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the physiometric data is generated during performance of the dental scan.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the generating in (c) comprises comparing the dental scan to a previous dental scan of the subject.
17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the hollow tubular adapter comprises a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor.
18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the hollow tubular adapter comprises one or more electrodes.
19 . A hollow tubular adapter, comprising: a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor; at least two electrodes; and a connection module, wherein a first opening of the hollow tubular adapter is configured to attach to a mobile digital device, and wherein a second opening of the hollow tubular adapter is configured to contact lips of the subject.
20 . The hollow tubular adapter of claim 19 , wherein the photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor is configured to face an intraoral soft tissue of the subject.
