Methods, systems, and devices for monitoring anisocoria and asymmetry of pupillary reaction to stimulus
A computer program is disclosed for performing the following method: recording images of a response of a left pupil to a stimulus thereby resulting in a first set of sequential images; recording images of a response of a right pupil to the same stimulus at the same time as the first images were recorded, thereby resulting in a second set of sequential images; displaying on a display simultaneously the first set of images and the second set of image, wherein the two sets of images are synchronized, and wherein a center of the left pupil of each image from the first set of sequential images is aligned with a center of the right pupil from the second set of sequential images on the display.
1 . A method of assessing a health condition of a mammalian subject comprising:
using a monocular handheld pupilometer to record images of a response of a left pupil of the subject to a first level of light stimulus;
using said monocular handheld pupilometer to record images of a response of a right pupil of the subject to said same first level of light stimulus;
using the pupilometer to provide an output comparing the response of the left eye to the response of the right eye; and
determining whether there is asymmetry in pupillary response between the left eye and the right eye.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammalian subject is a human.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the output is a graphical representation of the pupillary response of the left and right pupils superimposed together on a single graph.
