Abstract

A system for measuring eye tracking may include a chassis, which may include a main column and a head rest assembly. The head rest assembly may include a stimulus screen for displaying a video to the patient, an optical mirror, an eye tracking camera, and at least one head rest member for stabilizing the patient's head, relative to the stimulus screen. The system may also include: a base attached to a bottom of the main column to support the main column; an arm extending from the main column to support the head rest assembly; a touchscreen interface attached to the main column and configured to provide control of the system to a user; a camera computer housed in the main column for controlling the eye tracking camera; and a system computer housed in the main column for controlling the stimulus screen, data processing and other functions.

Claims (32)

1. A system for measuring eye tracking in a patient and using the measured eye tracking to help diagnose an abnormality, the system comprising:

a main body;

a stimulus screen for displaying a video to the patient;

an eye tracking camera;

at least one forehead rest member for stabilizing the patient's forehead, relative to the stimulus screen, the at least one forehead rest member being disposed between the patient's forehead and the stimulus screen and defining a fixed distance therebetween;

an arm capable of vertical movement relative to the main body, movement of the arm being configured to adjust the position of both the stimulus screen and the at least one forehead rest member;

a touchscreen interface configured to provide control of the system to a user;

a camera computer for controlling the eye tracking camera; and

a system computer for controlling the stimulus screen, data processing and other functions of the system.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an optical mirror spaced from the stimulus screen.

3. A system for measuring eye tracking in a patient and using the measured eye tracking to help diagnose an abnormality, the system comprising:

a main body;

a stimulus screen for displaying a video to the patient;

an optical mirror spaced from the stimulus screen;

an eye tracking camera;

at least one forehead rest member for stabilizing the patient's forehead, relative to the stimulus screen, the at least one forehead rest member being disposed between the patient and the stimulus screen and defining a fixed distance therebetween;

an arm capable of vertical movement relative to the main body, movement of the arm being configured to adjust the position of both the stimulus screen and the at least one forehead rest member;

a touchscreen interface configured to provide control of the system to a user;

a camera computer for controlling the eye tracking camera; and

a system computer for controlling the stimulus screen, data processing and other functions of the system.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one forehead rest member is configured and arranged to move up and down relative to the main body.

5. The system of claim 3 , further comprising:

a power supply; and

an isolation transformer.

6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the stimulus screen is configured to rotate.

7. The system of claim 3 , further comprising at least one built-in speaker to provide audio to the patient along with video on the stimulus screen.

8. The system of claim 3 , wherein the system computer is configured to generate a score describing the eye tracking of the patient.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the score ranges from 0 to 20.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the score is interpreted as a binary classification for eye movement abnormalities.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein a retrieved score of equal to or greater than 10 represents a positive result and an abnormality.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein a retrieved score of below 10 represents a negative result and no abnormality.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the score is a box score.
