[0003] Ophthalmic instruments and treatments are routinely used by clinicians to diagnose and treat eye-related diseases. An example of a conventional ophthalmic device is shown in FIG. 1. As shown, the patient is seated in a specific seating position for the entire treatment period, and treatment can be administered continuously to any location for a period ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. This seating has been considered necessary to properly align the patient's eye with the ophthalmic device to perform measurements and / or ophthalmic treatments on the patient's eye. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Unfortunately, ophthalmic devices tend to be large, bulky, and expensive devices that are typically used exclusively in doctor's offices. Therefore, patients must schedule an appointment with an optometrist and visit the doctor for diagnosis or treatment. This can be a deterrent for many patients, and in some cases, a long delay in visiting the doctor's office can occur until the condition worsens, necessitating more drastic therapy or treatment when the condition could have been more easily cured had the patient been diagnosed or treated in a timely manner. Furthermore, the large, bulky nature of most ophthalmic devices forces patients to sit in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time, which in turn can actually increase the risk of misdiagnosis and patient error.

[0045] Various embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that implement a user-wearable health assessment system that can be used to provide health-related diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment to a user. Various objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are set forth in the detailed description, drawings, and claims.

[0046] Various embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, which are provided as illustrative examples of the present invention to enable those skilled in the art to practice the present invention. In particular, the following figures and examples are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. When particular elements of the present invention are implemented in part or in whole using known components (or methods or processes), only those parts of such known components (or methods or processes) necessary for understanding the present invention will be described, and detailed descriptions of other parts of such known components (or methods or processes) will be omitted so as not to obscure the present invention. Furthermore, various embodiments encompass both current and future-known equivalents of components referenced by way of example herein.

[0047] Disclosed are methods and systems for diagnosing and / or treating a patient's health-threatening condition using a user-wearable health diagnostic system, e.g., a user-wearable ophthalmic device, that interacts with the user's eye. In one or more embodiments, the device may be a head-mounted system capable of administering one or more diagnostic or treatment regimens. In some other embodiments, the device may be stationary (e.g., installed in a doctor's office). In one or more embodiments, the device may be an augmented reality system that advantageously combines a number of augmented reality (AR) and / or virtual reality (VR) technologies for health management or ophthalmic treatment purposes. In some other embodiments, the device may be worn by a clinician for diagnosis and / or simulation and training. While various embodiments described below describe a new paradigm for health systems in conjunction with AR systems, it should be understood that the treatment methods disclosed herein can be used independently of any existing and / or known AR systems. Accordingly, the examples described below are illustrative only and should not be read as limited to AR systems.

[0048] As described above, embodiments of the present invention present a new paradigm in which a user-wearable health diagnostic or healthcare treatment system (abbreviated herein as a health system), e.g., an ophthalmic device, is worn by a patient and can be programmed with one or more applications specific to various healthcare-related conditions, e.g., eye-related conditions. In some embodiments, diagnosis and / or treatment may be performed by optical structures, mechanical structures, processing algorithms, or any combination of the above. In some other embodiments, the patient-worn health system may be equipped with sensing and / or stimulation capabilities to enhance treatment or diagnosis. In some embodiments, a head-mounted augmented reality system may be used to perform various healthcare-related measurements, assessments, diagnoses, or treatments, e.g., ophthalmic measurements, assessments, diagnoses, or treatments.

[0049] When a head-mounted augmented reality display system interacts with a user's eyes, many applications can be envisioned for ophthalmology-related diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, many other applications in non-visual diagnosis and treatment can be envisioned as well. Accordingly, the disclosure presented herein is not limited to ophthalmic diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. The embodiments disclosed herein can also be applied to diagnose, monitor, and treat other areas of a user's health, including, but not limited to, the user's cardiovascular and neurological health.

[0050] Many embodiments of the health system are described in relation to various eye-related diseases and disorders. Before describing the various embodiments of the health system in detail, a brief description of the biological mechanisms of the human eye will be provided below to provide an understanding of common disease situations that may affect a patient.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2, a simplified cross-section of the human eye is shown, featuring the cornea (42), iris (44), lens—or "crystalline lens" (46), sclera (48), choroid layer (50), macula (52), retina (54), and optic nerve tract (56) leading to the brain. The macula is the center of the retina and is used for seeing moderately fine features; at the center of the macula is the portion of the retina labeled the "fovea," which is used for seeing the finest features and contains more photoreceptors (approximately 120 cone photoreceptors per diopter) than any other part of the retina. The human visual system is not a passive sensor system; it is configured to actively scan the environment. Much like using a flatbed scanner to capture an image or using your finger to read Braille from paper, the eye's photoreceptors activate in response to changes in stimuli rather than constantly responding to a constant stimulus.

[0052] Thus, motion is required to present photoreceptor information to the brain (such as the movement of a linear scanner array across a piece of paper in a flatbed scanner, or the movement of a finger across Braille words imprinted on paper). Indeed, experiments using substances such as cobra venom, which are used to paralyze eye muscles, have shown that human subjects experience blindness when viewing a static scene with their eyes in an open-eyed position while their eyes are paralyzed by snake venom. In other words, in the absence of a changing stimulus, the photoreceptors provide no input to the brain, and thus blindness is experienced. This is thought to be at least in part due to the fact that normal human eyes have been observed to sway back and forth, or wobble, while also moving side to side in a phenomenon called "microsaccades."

[0053] As explained above, the retina's fovea contains the largest density of photoreceptors, and humans typically perceive high-resolution visualization across the entire visual field. However, because humans typically only have a small high-resolution center, humans mechanically move their eyes repeatedly, permanently storing high-resolution information captured most recently at the fovea. In a fairly similar manner, the eye's focal length control mechanism (the ciliary muscle is operatively coupled to the lens such that ciliary relaxation flattens the lens at more distant focal lengths; ciliary contraction relaxes the ciliary connective fibers, allowing the lens to adopt a rounder geometric shape corresponding to closer focal lengths) periodically deflects back and forth by approximately 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 diopter, periodically inducing a small phenomenon called "refractive blur" both near and far from the target focal length; this is utilized by the brain's focus control circuitry as a periodic negative feedback that constantly corrects course and helps keep the retinal image of a fixed object in near focus.

[0054] The brain's visual center also receives valuable perceptual information based on the relative movement of the eyes and their components. The convergence movement of the two eyes relative to one another (i.e., moving the pupils toward or away from one another to converge and fixate on an object) is closely linked to the focusing action of the eye's lenses (or "accommodation"). Under normal conditions, changing the focus of the eye's lenses, or accommodating them to focus on objects at different distances, automatically results in a corresponding change in convergence to the same distance, according to a relationship known as the "accommodation-vergence reflex." Similarly, changes in convergence result in corresponding changes in accommodation under normal conditions. As with most conventional stereoscopic AR or VR configurations, affecting this reflex is known to cause eye muscle fatigue, headaches, or other forms of discomfort to users.

[0055] Head movement, which accommodates the eyes, also has a significant impact on object visualization. Humans move their heads to visualize their ground; humans often enter a fairly steady state of changing head position and head orientation relative to an object of interest. Furthermore, most people choose to move their heads when it is necessary to move their gaze more than about 20 degrees off-center to focus on a particular object (i.e., people typically do not like to see things "out of the corner of their eye"). Humans also typically move or shift their heads within a certain range in relation to sound to improve the capture of sound signals and take advantage of the shape of their ears relative to their heads. The human visual system can derive powerful depth cues from information called "head motion parallax," which describes the relative motion of objects located at different distances as a function of head movement and eye convergence distance (i.e., when a person moves their head from side to side to gaze at an object, items located at a distance from the object move in the same direction as the head; items located in front of the object move in the opposite direction; these are very salient cues for objects spatially located in the environment relative to the person - perhaps as powerful as stereopsis). Head movement is, of course, also used to orient objects above ground.

[0056] Furthermore, head and eye movements work together in what's known as the "vestibulo-ocular reflex," which stabilizes the image information on the retina during head rotation, keeping object images roughly centered on the retina. As the head rotates, the eyes reflexively and proportionally rotate in opposite directions, maintaining a stable gaze on the object. As a result of this complementary relationship, many people are able to read a book while shaking their head back and forth. (Interestingly, the same is typically not true if the head remains nearly stationary and the book moves back and forth at the same rate—the person likely cannot read a moving book; the vestibulo-ocular reflex is a coordination of head and eye movements and is typically not utilized in conjunction with hand movements.) This paradigm is crucial for patient-worn health systems because it allows a user's head movements to be relatively directly correlated with eye movements, and the system is preferably prepared to operate with this relationship intact. Therefore, when designing a patient-worn or stationary display-based health system, the characteristics, and in some cases the limitations, of the human eye are taken into account to provide meaningful virtual reality content that works with the eye's natural mechanisms rather than causing stress. Furthermore, in the context of health-related applications of augmented reality display systems, this can provide various advantages, as disclosed herein. As described above, the health system display can be implemented independently of an augmented reality (AR) system, although many of the following embodiments are described solely for illustrative purposes in conjunction with an AR system.

[0057] 3A-3D, some general component options are illustrated. While the embodiments of Figures 3A-3D show head-mounted displays, it will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the same components may also be incorporated into stationary health systems.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 3A , a user (60) is shown wearing a patient-worn ophthalmic device, which includes a frame (64) structure connected to a display system (62) positioned in front of the user's eye. Depending on the health system application, the frame 64 may be connected to multiple ophthalmic-specific measurement subsystems. Some embodiments may be configured for one or more ophthalmic applications, while other embodiments may be general-purpose AR systems that can also be applied to ophthalmic applications. In any event, the following sections describe possible components of a health system or AR system used in ophthalmic equipment and / or eye treatment.

[0059] In one or more embodiments, the health system is worn by a patient or user. In some other embodiments, the health system may be worn by another person, such as a doctor or clinician, who may use the health system to administer a series of diagnostic tests and / or treatment protocols to a patient other than the person wearing the health system. It should be understood that any of the following applications may also be used by a person wearing the health system to administer diagnostic tests and / or treatment protocols to a patient.

[0060] A speaker 66 may be connected to the frame 64 in the configuration shown and may be positioned adjacent to the user's ear canal (in one embodiment, another speaker, not shown, may be positioned adjacent the user's other ear canal to provide stereo / shaped sound control). A microphone 55 may also be connected to the frame to detect sounds from the user or the world. In some embodiments, another microphone (not shown) may be provided, for example, connected to the frame 64 on the right hand side of the user. In one or more embodiments, the wellness system can have a display 62 operably connected 68, for example, via wired leads or a wireless connection, to a local processing and data module 70, which is mounted to the frame 64 in a variety of configurations, such as being affixed to the frame 64, affixed to a helmet or hat 80 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3B, embedded in headphones, removably attached to the torso 82 of the user 60 in a backpack-style configuration as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3C, or removably attached to the hips 84 of the user 60 in a belt-type configuration as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3D.

[0061] The local processing and data module 70 may include a power-efficient processing unit or controller and digital memory, such as flash memory, both of which may be utilized to facilitate processing, caching, and storage of data a) collected from sensors, such as imagers (such as cameras), microphones, inertial measurement units, accelerometers, compasses, GPS units, radios, and / or gyros, which may be operably connected to the frame 64, and / or b) after such processing or retrieval, acquired and / or processed using a remote processing module 72 and / or a remote data repository 74, and possibly passed to the display system 62. The local processing and data module 70 may be operably connected (76, 78) to the remote processing module 72 and remote data repository 74, for example, via a wired or wireless communication link, and these remote modules 72, 74 may be operably connected to each other and utilized as resources for the local processing and data module 70.

[0062] In some embodiments, the remote processing module (72) may comprise one or more relatively sophisticated processing devices or controllers configured to analyze and process the data and / or image information. In some embodiments, the remote data repository (74) may comprise relatively large digital data storage devices available in a "cloud" resource configuration via the Internet or other network configuration. In some embodiments, all data is stored and all calculations are performed on the local processing and data modules, allowing any remote module to be used completely autonomously.

[0063] Advantageously, a health system similar to the system described in FIGS. 3A-3D (or an AR system with ophthalmic applications) can have unique access to a user's eyes and head. When the health system interacts with a user's eyes to enable the user to perceive 3D virtual content and, in many embodiments, tracks various biometrics associated with the user's eyes (e.g., eye convergence, eye movement, retinal structure, anterior and posterior eye shape, eye movement patterns, etc.), the resulting tracking data can be advantageously used in health-related applications, as described in more detail herein. This unprecedented access to a user's eyes can be utilized in a variety of health management applications. Depending on the type of health-impairing condition, the health system can image, detect (including measure), and / or stimulate the user's eyes to diagnose and / or treat the condition.

[0064] In one or more embodiments, the augmented reality display system can be used as a patient-worn or user-worn ophthalmic device. Ophthalmic equipment can be used by clinicians to perform medical procedures and / or examine a user's eyes by viewing the inside of a patient's eye. Traditionally, ophthalmic devices have been large, bulky, stationary devices that often require the patient to travel to a doctor's office, where the clinician or doctor performs eye-related tests on the patient. Typically, the patient is restrained by the ophthalmic instrument (e.g., by resting their chin on the chin rest of the ophthalmic device, pushing their head forward, etc.) until the clinician completes a series of tests. As such, current approaches have many limitations.

[0065] In addition to using heavy and bulky devices for testing, conventional approaches require physician supervision, require patients to repeatedly return to the clinician's office for further testing / progress analysis, and require patients to assume uncomfortable or constrained positions for long periods of time. Furthermore, if the patient only rests on the ophthalmic device for a short period of time, the amount of data that the clinician can collect to diagnose or treat the patient is limited. Furthermore, conventional approaches do not take into account user behavior and dynamic changes in the user's posture. Many tests performed using conventional approaches generally require the user to be restrained in a specific, stationary position. However, when a user undergoes a visual field test and has a limited range of gaze, the user moves their head and eyes, generating noise and potentially resulting in inaccurate test results.

[0066] In one or more embodiments, a head-mounted healthcare (e.g., ophthalmic) device similar to the devices shown in FIGS. 3A-3D may be used by a patient to track data, identify and cure one or more eye-related diseases, and / or facilitate the prevention of other health problems. In one or more embodiments, an AR display system may be used as a head-mounted healthcare (e.g., ophthalmic) device. It will be appreciated that many of the embodiments described below may be implemented as head-mounted embodiments, while other embodiments may be implemented as stationary devices. Furthermore, some embodiments may implement systems and methods using AR technology to diagnose, monitor, and / or treat under medical supervision (e.g., for medical safety issues, regulatory issues, etc.), while other embodiments may be implemented as described herein to perform self-diagnosis and / or monitoring using a head-mounted healthcare or AR device, or as part of a treatment protocol for a particular disease. For purposes of illustration, this disclosure will focus primarily on head-mounted health management devices, e.g., wellness systems, and in particular AR devices, but it should be understood that the same principles can be applied to non-head-mounted embodiments.

[0067] In one or more embodiments, the AR display device can be used as a patient-worn health management device, such as a patient-worn health system. The device can typically be worn on a specific user's head, with the optics aligned with the user's eyes. These configuration steps can be used to help ensure an optimal augmented reality experience for the user without causing physiological side effects such as headaches, nausea, discomfort, etc. Thus, in one or more embodiments, the patient-worn health system is configured (physically and digitally) for each individual user, and a set of programs can be specifically calibrated for that user. In other scenarios, a wide variety of users can comfortably use a loose-fitting AR device. For example, in some embodiments, the patient-worn health system recognizes one or more of the following: the distance between the user's eyes, the distance between the head-mounted display and the user's eyes, the curvature of the user's forehead, the distance to the ears, or the height of the bridge of the nose for proper fit. All of these measurements can be used to provide the correct head-mounted display system for a specific user. In some other embodiments, such measurements are not necessary to perform the optometry function.

[0068] For example, with reference to FIGS. 4A-4D, the health system can be customized for each user. As shown in FIG. 4A, in one or more embodiments, the user's head shape 402 can be taken into consideration when donning the head-mounted patient-worn health system. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 4B, the ophthalmic optics 404 (e.g., optics, optical structure, etc.) can be rotated or adjusted for user comfort in both horizontal and vertical directions, or can be rotated for user comfort. In one or more embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4C, the head rotation reference point set relative to the user's head can be adjusted based on the user's head structure. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 4D, the interpupillary distance (IPD) (i.e., the distance between the user's eyes) can be corrected.

[0069] In the context of a patient-worn health system, this form of head-mounted device can be advantageous because the system already has a set of measurements of the user's anthropometric characteristics (e.g., size, interocular distance, etc.) and other data that can be used to treat and diagnose the patient.

[0070] In addition to various measurements and calibrations performed on the user, the patient-worn health system can be configured to track a range of biometric data about the user to identify the patient and enable secure communication. For example, the system can perform iris recognition and / or retinal matching to identify the patient, track eye movement tracking, eye movement patterns, blink patterns, eye convergence movements, fatigue parameters, eye color changes, focal length changes, and many other parameters that can be used to provide the user with an optical augmented reality experience. For AR devices used in healthcare applications, it will be appreciated that some of the features described above may be part of widely available AR devices, while other features may be incorporated into specific healthcare-related applications.

[0071] Referring now to Figure 5, various components of an exemplary patient-worn health management display device will be described. It should be understood that other embodiments may have additional or fewer components, depending on the application (e.g., a particular diagnostic tool) for which the system is used. However, Figure 5 provides a basic overview of some of the various components and types of biometric data that can be collected and stored using a patient-worn health system or AR device. Figure 5 illustrates a simplified head-worn health system 62 on the right side in block diagram form.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 5, one embodiment of a suitable user display device 62 is shown, comprising a display lens 64 that can be mounted on the user's head or eyes via a housing, or mounted in a frame 108 corresponding to the frame 64 (FIGS. 3A-3D). The display lens 106 is positioned in front of the user's eyes 20 via the housing 108 and can comprise one or more transparent mirrors configured to bounce the projected light 38 back to the eyes 20 to facilitate beam shaping while allowing transmission of at least some rays of light from the local environment. As shown, two wide-field machine vision cameras 16 are connected to the housing 108 to capture images of the user's surrounding environment; in one embodiment, these cameras 16 are dual-capture visible / non-visible (e.g., infrared) cameras.

[0073] Continuing with reference to FIG. 5, a pair of light projection modules are shown comprising viewing mirrors and optics configured to project light (38) into the eyes (20) and wavefront shaping (i.e., for depth adjustment) by a scanning laser. The illustrated embodiment also includes two miniature infrared cameras (24) paired with infrared light sources (26, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs)) configured to track the user's eyes (20) to support rendering and user input. The system (62) further features a sensor assembly (39) that includes X-, Y-, and Z-axis accelerometer functionality, as well as magnetic compass and X-, Y-, and Z-axis gyro functionality, thereby providing data at a relatively high frequency, such as preferably 200 Hz. The illustrated system also includes a head pose processing unit (36), such as an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), FPGA (field programmable gate array), and / or ARM processing unit (advanced reduced instruction set machine), which can be configured to calculate real-time or near real-time user head pose from the wide field of view image information output from the imaging device (16).

[0074] Also shown is a processing unit (32) configured to perform digital and / or analog processing to derive attitude based on gyro, compass, and / or accelerometer data from the sensor assembly (39). The illustrated embodiment also features a GPS (37, global positioning satellite) subsystem that assists with attitude and positioning analysis. The GPS can also provide remote (e.g., cloud-based) information about the user's environment. This information can be used for diagnostic purposes. For example, if a user is in an area with high concentrations of pollen in the ambient atmosphere, this information can be useful for diagnosing and / or treating certain illnesses. Alternatively, in another example, information about specific airborne air pollution levels can be advantageously used when considering treatment options for a particular user. Other types of information (e.g., pollen counts, pollution, demographics, environmental toxins, indoor climate and air quality conditions, lifestyle statistics, proximity to medical facilities, etc.) can similarly be used for one or more applications.

[0075] The illustrated embodiment may also include a rendering engine 34, which may feature hardware that executes a software program configured to render information about the user's location to facilitate the operation of the scanner and imaging of the inside of the user's eyes, thereby allowing the user to view the ground. The rendering engine 34 is operably connected (105, 94, 100 / 102, 104; i.e., via wired or wireless connections) to the sensor pose processor 32, image pose processor 36, eye tracking camera 24, and projection subsystem 18 so that the rendered light can be projected using the scanning laser device 18 in a manner similar to a retinal scanning display. The wavefront of the projected light beam 38 is curved or focused to match the desired focal length of the projected light.

[0076] A camera 24 (e.g., a miniature infrared camera) can be used to track the eyes to support rendering and user input (if the user is trying to determine the depth at which they are focused; as described below, eye convergence can be used to estimate the depth of focus). A GPS 37, gyro, compass, and accelerometer 39 can be used to provide a coarse estimate and / or fast pose estimation. The camera 16 images and pose, along with data from associated cloud computing resources, can be used to create a ground map of the scene and share the user's view with others and / or virtual or augmented reality communities and / or medical institutions. In one or more embodiments, the camera 16 can be used to analyze the food, drugs, nutrients, and toxins a user ingests as part of a comprehensive healthcare and / or wellness or healthcare monitoring system.

[0077] Continuing with reference to FIG. 5, the display device 62 may include a medication delivery module 21 for delivering medication to a user. The medication delivery module 21 may include one or more outlets 22 and at least one medication container 23, which may be a reservoir that contains and releases medication through the outlet 22. The outlet 22 may be connected to the container 23 via one or more flow paths 22a that may deliver medication (e.g., a liquid or gas) from the container 23 to the outlet 22. In some embodiments, the outlet 22 may simply be an opening in the frame 108, or may be a nozzle attached to or integral with the frame 108. In some embodiments, the nozzle may be a sprayer. In some embodiments, the flow paths 22a are formed by openings in the frame 108 and / or tubing.

[0078] In one or more embodiments, the display device can include a light emitting module (27) that selectively projects light onto the wearer, such as when treating the wearer's eyes according to a treatment protocol. The light emitting module (27) can include a light source, including a light emitter that emits polychromatic polarized light, a laser, a light emitting diode, a fluorescent lamp, a dichroic lamp, a full-spectrum light source, or the like. In some embodiments, one light emitting module (27) can be provided for each eye. In some other embodiments, the display device can include multiple light emitting modules (27), with each eye having at least one light emitting module configured to direct light to that eye.

[0079] While most of the hardware of the display system 62, the features of which are illustrated in Figure 5, is shown directly connected to the display 106 and the housing 108 adjacent the user's eye 20, the illustrated hardware components may be mounted on or housed within other components, such as a belt-mounted member, as shown in Figure 3D. Additionally, as described herein, multiple sensors and other functional modules are illustrated grouped together for clarity of illustration and description. However, it will be understood that some embodiments may include only one or only a portion of these sensors and / or modules.

[0080] In one embodiment, all of the components of system 62 featured in Figure 5 are directly connected to display housing 108, with the exception of image pose processor 36, sensor pose processor 32, and rendering engine 34, and communication between these latter three components and the remainder of the system may be via wireless communication, such as ultra-wideband communication, or via wired communication. The illustrated housing 108 is preferably mountable and wearable on the head of a user. The system may also feature speakers (e.g., speaker 66, Figures 3A-3D), such as speakers insertable into the user's ears and utilized to project sound to the user.

[0081] With regard to projecting light 38 into the user's eye 20, in some embodiments, a camera 24 can be used to measure where the center of the user's eye 20 is geometrically approached, which typically corresponds to the focal position or "depth of focus" of the eye 20. The three-dimensional surface of all points approached by the eye is called the "horopter." The focal distance can have a finite number of different depths or can vary infinitely. Light projected from the convergence distance appears focused on the subject's eye 20, with light in front of or behind the convergence distance being blurred.

[0082] Furthermore, without being bound by theory, it has been found that spatially coherent light with a beam diameter of less than approximately 0.7 millimeters is accurately resolved by the human eye, regardless of where the eye is focused. Given this understanding, to create the proper illusion of depth of focus, the camera 24 can track eye convergence, and the rendering engine 34 and projection subsystem 18 can be utilized to focus all objects on or near the horopter, while all other objects can be blurred to varying degrees (i.e., using intentional blur). Preferably, the system 62 renders to the user at a frame rate of approximately 60 frames per second or greater. As described above, the camera 24 can preferably be utilized to perform eye tracking, and software can be configured to detect convergence geometry as well as focus cues to serve as user input. Preferably, such a display system is configured with brightness and contrast suitable for daytime or nighttime use.

[0083] In some embodiments, the display system preferably has a latency of less than about 20 milliseconds when aligning a viewed object, an angular alignment accuracy of less than about 0.1 degrees, and an angular resolution of about 1 arcminute, which, without being bound by theory, are believed to be close to the limits of the human eye. The display system 62 may be integrated with a location system that may include a GPS element, optical tracking, a compass, an accelerometer, and / or other data sources to aid in position and orientation knowledge; the location information may be used to facilitate accurate rendering of the relevant ground when a user views it (e.g., such information may allow a user, through eye wear, to easily recognize where they are located relative to the real ground). Having described the general components of some embodiments of a user-wearable health assessment system, e.g., an ophthalmic system, additional components and / or features related to health care and diagnosis are described below. It should be understood that some of the features described below are common to various embodiments of user-wearable health assessment systems or many embodiments of AR systems used for health, while other features require additional components or fewer components to perform health assessments and treatments.

[0084] In some embodiments, a user-wearable health assessment system is configured to display one or more virtual images based on the user's eye focus. Unlike conventional 3D display methods that force a user to focus on where an image is projected, in some embodiments, a user-wearable health assessment system is configured to automatically change the focus of the projected virtual content to allow the user to more comfortably view one or more images presented to the user. For example, if the user's eye's current focus is 1 m, the image is projected to match the user's focus. Alternatively, if the user shifts focus to 3 m, the image is projected to match the new focus. In this way, rather than forcing the user to adjust to a predetermined focus, the user-wearable health assessment system or AR display system of some embodiments allows the user's eyes to function in a more natural manner.

[0085] Such user-wearable health assessment systems can eliminate or reduce the occurrence of eye strain, headaches, and other physiological symptoms commonly observed with virtual reality devices. To achieve this, various embodiments of patient-wearable health systems are configured to project virtual images at various focal lengths via one or more variable focus elements (VFEs). In one or more embodiments, 3D perception can be achieved with a multi-plane focus system that projects images onto a fixed focal plane away from the user. Other embodiments use a variable focal plane that moves the focal plane back and forth in the z-direction to match the user's current focus state.

[0086] In both multi-plane and variable-plane focus systems, the patient-wearable health system can use eye tracking to determine the convergence of the user's eyes, determine the user's current focus, and project an image at the determined focus. In other embodiments, the user-wearable health examination system includes a light modulator that projects light beams of various focuses across the retina in a raster pattern at various diopters via a fiber scanner or other light source. The health system's display's ability to project images at various focal lengths not only facilitates adjustments for the patient to view objects in 3D, but can also be used to correct ocular abnormalities in the patient, as described in more detail below. In some other embodiments, the spatial light modulator can project images to the user through various optical components. For example, as described further below, the spatial light modulator can project images onto one or more waveguides, which then transmit the images to the user.

[0087] Referring now to Figure 6, an exemplary process flow for projecting one or more virtual images based on a user's accommodation reflex will be briefly described. At 602, the system can determine the convergence of the user's eyes via an eye-tracking system. At 604, the system can estimate the current focus of the user's eyes based on the determined convergence. It should be understood that other embodiments of the AR system (or wellness system) do not necessarily utilize eye tracking, but can instead display images sequentially at a rapid rate to provide a 3D perception. As such, the process flow of Figure 6 should not be considered limiting and is presented for illustrative purposes only.

[0088] If the health system uses a multiple depth plane display system (i.e., light is projected onto multiple fixed depth planes), the system can determine 608 a focal plane that is closest to the estimated focus based on eye convergence and accommodation. It will be appreciated that accommodation can be measured, for example, by using an autorefractor or other device compatible with the display system. At 610, the health system can project at least a portion of the image onto the determined focal plane.

[0089] If the wellness system utilizes a variable depth plane display system (i.e., one or more focal planes onto which virtual content is projected can be moved back and forth in the z-direction), then at 612 the focus of the system is changed via the VFE to match the estimated focus. At 614, the wellness system can project at least a portion of the image onto the focal plane. Similarly, other embodiments of the wellness system can use other 3D image generation methods to provide a comfortable, adjustable, and reflective projection of virtual objects to the user.

[0090] In some embodiments, the image is displayed by projecting light associated with the virtual image into the user's eye, although any wavelength of light may similarly be projected into the user's eye. In addition to visible light, infrared light or other forms of light may similarly be projected using the patient-wearable health system. This form of patient-wearable health system may similarly be used to treat health conditions, as described below.

[0091] Additionally, while various embodiments are described in which light is projected into the user's eye, it should be understood that in one or more embodiments, the health system can also receive light emitted from the user's eye. In one or more embodiments, the light source of the health system can be a fiber scanning device (FSD) that projects light into the user's eye in various patterns (e.g., raster scan, spiral scan, Lissajous scan, etc.). Similarly, other light sources (e.g., OLED, DLP, LCD, etc.) can be used in other embodiments of the health system. In addition to projecting light, the FSD can also receive emitted light in one or more embodiments. The same fiber that projects light can also be used to receive light. In this mode, the health system can function as a multidimensional depth scanner that multiplexes the modulated light waves it outputs with the light waves it detects or captures. In some embodiments, the fiber scanner can be used in conjunction with or in place of a camera 24 (FIG. 5), for example, to track or image the user's eye. In one or more embodiments, rather than the FSD being configured to receive light, the health system may have a separate light receiving element that receives light emitted from the user's eye and collects data related to the emitted light. As such, in one or more embodiments, this emitted light and corresponding data may be analyzed to diagnose or treat abnormalities, as described below.

[0092] Various details of the fiber scanning display device will now be described with reference to Figures 28A-28C. Referring to Figure 28A, a gradient index lens or "GRIN" lens 354 is shown fused to the end face of a single mode optical fiber. An actuator 350 (such as a piezoelectric actuator) is coupled to the fiber 352 and can be used to scan the fiber tip.

[0093] 28B, the multicore fiber 362 can be scanned (e.g., by a piezoelectric actuator 368) to generate a series of beamlets with multiple angles of incidence and intersection points, which can be relayed to the eye 58 via a waveguide (370). Thus, in one embodiment, a collimated light field image can be injected into the waveguide, and the light field representation can be converted to be directly visible to the human eye, without the need for any additional refocusing optics.

[0094] Display systems have been built in the past that use eye tracking or gaze tracking as input and conserve computational resources by simply providing high-resolution rendering corresponding to where the person is currently looking, while lower-resolution rendering is applied to the rest of the retina; the position of the high-resolution portion relative to the lower-resolution portion can dynamically follow the tracking gaze position in such a configuration, which can be described as a "foveated display."

[0095] An improved version of this configuration can include a scanning fiber display with a pattern spacing that can dynamically follow the gaze of a tracked eye. For example, as shown in Fig. 28C, when a typical scanning fiber display operates in a spiral pattern (the leftmost portion 510 of the image in Fig. 28C shows the spiral motion pattern of a scanning multi-core fiber 514; the rightmost portion 512 of the image in Fig. 28C shows the spiral motion pattern of a scanning single fiber 516 for comparison), the constant pattern pitch provides uniform display resolution.

[0096] It will be appreciated that in addition to displaying an image or functioning as an imaging device, the display system can provide illumination for imaging the eye or tissues surrounding the eye. In one or more embodiments, the health system includes an optical scanning or detection module, enabling the device to scan the front and interior of the eye using known visible and non-visible light spectrum technologies, including visible light imaging devices, photorefraction, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and light field microscopy (LFM). In one or more embodiments, the ophthalmic system can further include a light field imaging module that simultaneously captures multiple images of the eye at different focal lengths. It will be appreciated that the display, e.g., the FSD, can be advantageously configured to simultaneously emit multiple frequencies of light from the display. For example, the FSD can include a single-core fiber or a multi-core fiber, which advantageously can simultaneously emit multiple frequencies of light.

[0097] In healthcare and diagnostic contexts, the type, frequency, color, placement, etc., of one or more images presented to a user can be advantageously manipulated to diagnose and treat one or more disorders. For example, certain diseases require strengthening one eye relative to the other. To this end, a treatment protocol can be envisioned to "train" the weaker eye, for example, by providing stronger stimulation to the weaker eye relative to the stronger eye. Alternatively, in another example, certain portions of the retina may have reduced sensitivity due to macular degeneration; to address this, the image can be modulated or reformatted and projected to the periphery of the retina to correct the user's visual impairment. In this manner, as described in more detail below, the health system's ability to modulate multiple parameters associated with virtual image projection can be used to diagnose and / or treat certain health abnormalities.

[0098] Furthermore, using the various principles outlined above, health systems can be designed to perform diagnoses using a stimulus-response measurement analysis process. Devices such as these devices can be used by a clinician, or in other embodiments, certain diseases can be simply "diagnosed" by the patient or recognized by the patient as symptoms (e.g., eye muscle fatigue, dry eyes, high blood pressure, onset of stroke, or seizure). This facilitates the user taking greater active control over their health and preventing the onset of disease by proactively treating the disease at the onset of specific symptoms. Such diagnoses can be performed by analyzing simultaneously acquired data related to one or more tracked biometric parameters and historical data related to environmental changes. In one or more embodiments, the health system can also be configured to provide information clues to alert the user and / or a doctor or others or to facilitate other response measures.

[0099] It should be understood that the health system can be configured to be autonomous (i.e., provide results directly to a user or other person or entity without input or control by a clinician or other person) or semi-autonomous (with some degree of input or control by a clinician or other person). In other embodiments, the health system can be fully controlled by a clinician or other person, for example, in a networked or remote (cloud-based) manner (e.g., with software control of the health system diagnosing, monitoring, or treating the user), or with the health system worn by a doctor to examine the patient.

[0100] 5, in one or more embodiments, the wellness system may be designed with multiple additional health-related sensors. The wellness system may include a number of sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, non-invasive blood glucose sensors, ETCO2, EEG, and / or other physiological sensors) that monitor one or more physiological responses of the user.

[0101] As described herein, in one or more embodiments, the health system includes an eye tracking module that can be configured to determine the convergence of a user's eyes to determine proper normal focusing when projecting one or more virtual images, and can be further configured to track one or more eye-related parameters (e.g., eye position, eye movement, eye patterns, etc.). This data can be used for several health-related diagnostic and treatment applications, as described below.

[0102] As will be apparent from the description herein, the health system can be used for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment, which may include diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment related to the eye. In such eye-related applications, the health system can be referred to as an ophthalmic system. As will also be apparent from the description herein, the user (or wearer) of the device can be referred to as a patient when diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment are performed by the device on the user. In some other embodiments, the user can be a clinician, and the patient can be a third party who is diagnosed or treated by the user. It will also be understood that diagnosis and monitoring can be generally referred to as health status analysis. Myopia / Hyperopia / Astigmatism

[0103] Having described various components of an ophthalmic system in the context of medical diagnosis and treatment, the following describes an embodiment in which an ophthalmic system is used to treat common eye-related ailments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are exemplary only and should not be taken in a limiting sense. For example, the embodiments described herein may be applied to systems other than ophthalmic systems.

[0104] Vision defects such as myopia (e.g., nearsightedness), hyperopia (e.g., hyperopia), astigmatism, etc. are quite common in the general population. Often, these defects are corrected with corrective lenses. In one or more embodiments, a user's vision defects can be naturally corrected by modulating the optics of an ophthalmic system. In one or more embodiments, the ophthalmic system can be configured to automatically or interactively determine the user's optical prescription (e.g., during a setup procedure or thereafter) and incorporate the optical prescription into the optical ancillary components of the ophthalmic system. The optical prescription can be determined during initialization of the ophthalmic system, during system calibration, as part of an ophthalmic prescription configurator program (e.g., for a horopter described herein or for other vision tests), or at any time during use of the ophthalmic system. Biometric data can be used to identify the user and their associated optical prescription. In various embodiments, the wavefront of light projected onto the user's eye can be modified based on the determined prescription. In other embodiments, alternatively or in combination, the wavefront of ambient light in front of the user, e.g., light from the ground in front of the user, passing through the ophthalmic system to the user's eye, is modified to provide optical correction. Thus, the user's optical prescription and modifications thereto can be used to modify the user's input light field in real time, and the optical prescription and modifications thereto can be configured to correct one or more optical defects or aberrations. One non-limiting advantage of the embodiments described herein is that the ophthalmic system can be configured to dynamically correct vision defects as the user's vision changes over time, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 6, or more times per year, without the need to replace or replace components within the system. Rather than replacing or replacing, components can be dynamically reconfigured electronically in real time based on changes in the user's vision (e.g., based on the optical prescription) while the ophthalmic device is in use.

[0105] For example, in the case of myopia, light associated with one or more objects is not imaged onto the retina, but rather in front of the retina, as shown in Figure 7A. This causes the objects to appear out of focus. Referring now to Figure 7B, a concave lens can be used to correct the defect, changing the nature of the incoming light and causing it to be imaged onto the retina.

[0106] In one or more embodiments, once a user's optical prescription is determined, the user's optical prescription can be modified by generating a desired output spherical wavefront curvature (e.g., a negative output spherical wavefront curvature) by encoding it into the optics of an ophthalmic system. For example, the phrase "encode into the optics" refers to applying a predetermined voltage to electrodes of an adaptive optics system (e.g., in embodiments using adaptive optics), where the voltage is applied to the electrodes and the voltage applied to the electrodes is determined based on the desired corrected wavefront to correct a refractive error of the eye. Alternatively, in waveguide stack embodiments, the phrase "encode into the optics" refers to selectively designating predetermined waveguides to direct light to the correct depth of focus corresponding to a particular portion of the eye to generate a corrected wavefront, thereby correcting a refractive error of the eye. In some embodiments, encoding a negative output spherical wavefront into the optics of an ophthalmic system corrects a user's low-order aberrations (e.g., defocus), for example, to correct myopia. In an augmented reality display system, such correction can be applied to ambient light from the ground, e.g., in front of the user, in a manner similar to eyeglasses. Alternatively, in some embodiments, either in combination or separately, correction can be applied by correcting the image projected from the ophthalmic system's display (e.g., from the ophthalmic system's processing unit) onto the user's eye with an appropriate negative spherical wavefront. In this way, the phase of the projected image can be corrected so that it appears in focus and can be corrected based on an optical prescription.

[0107] In the case of hyperopia, light associated with one or more objects is not imaged onto the retina, but rather behind it, as shown in Figure 8A. This causes the objects to appear out of focus. Referring now to Figure 8B, a convex lens can be used to correct the defect.

[0108] In one or more embodiments, once the optical prescription is determined, a corrective spherical wavefront (e.g., a positive output spherical wavefront) can be generated by encoding it into the optics of the ophthalmic system. In some embodiments, encoding a positive output spherical wavefront into the optics of the ophthalmic system corrects the user's low-order aberrations (e.g., defocus), for example, to correct hyperopia. Such correction can be applied to ambient light from the ground surrounding the user, for example, ambient light in front of the user. Alternatively, as described above, the processor can apply the corrected wavefront to correct the image projected from the ophthalmic system based on the determined prescription, so that the projected image appears in focus and is corrected based on the optical prescription. Again, a combination of both encoding and processor-corrected approaches can be used in augmented reality systems.

[0109] Astigmatism is a condition in which light entering the eye is improperly or partially focused on the retina. As illustrated generally in FIG. 9A, the shape of the eye may be deformed (usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea), causing the resulting image to be out of focus and distorted. For example, the curvature along the principal meridian may be different from the curvature along the perpendicular principal meridian. Referring now to FIG. 9B, an ophthalmic device can correct astigmatism by applying an appropriate compensating wavefront curvature correction, for example, along the appropriate transverse axis of the principal meridian.

[0110] More specifically, in various embodiments, once an appropriate optical prescription is determined, appropriate compensatory wavefront compensation can be encoded into the ophthalmic optics. A wavefront (e.g., a 4D wavefront) incident on the optics of the ophthalmic system can be modified by the optics (e.g., altering the phase of the incident wavefront) to generate a compensatory wavefront that is incident on the user's eye and corrects the ocular imperfection. In other words, the optics of the ophthalmic system (e.g., adaptive optics, as described below) can be configured to change the focus and / or wavefront of light reaching the user's eye based on, for example, the refractive error of the eye, the shape of the user's eye, e.g., the shape of the eye's cornea and / or lens, the length of the user's eye (e.g., the eye's natural light transmission length to the retina), etc. In some embodiments, the compensatory wavefront can modulate the phase of a wavefront incident on the optics of the ophthalmic device.

[0111] In some embodiments, high-order aberrations may be difficult to compensate for with spherical wavefront correction, as described above. Thus, in some embodiments, multiple independently controllable lenses may be controlled by an ophthalmic system to form a compound lens capable of correcting high-order aberrations, as described below. In other embodiments, alternatively or in combination, the ophthalmic system may be configured to retrieve a known aberration pattern based on a user's prescription and apply this pattern to images stored in the ophthalmic system and presented to the user's eye.

[0112] For example, the ophthalmic system may store one or more images that can be retrieved by the ophthalmic system. In some embodiments, these images may be pre-loaded or generated by the ophthalmic system. In some embodiments, these images may be part of a dynamic image (e.g., video). In other embodiments, these images may be provided from another source external to the ophthalmic system (e.g., a remote data repository 72). In other embodiments, alternatively or in combination, these images may be acquired based on ambient light in front of the ophthalmic system, as described herein. The images may be projected to a user by the ophthalmic system and modified by software included in the ophthalmic system. The ophthalmic system may generate and present one or more 2D images to a user's eye, which may be configured to modify the images based on the user's optical prescription before projecting the images. In some embodiments, different image content projected at different focal depths may create a 3D perception for the user, as described below for embodiments of ophthalmic systems including a waveguide stack. In this manner, each image may be a 2D representation of an image at a different focal depth. Each image can be individually modified by software included in the ophthalmic system, for example, the pattern or collection of pixels forming each image can be modified to counteract, cancel or reduce the effects of errors caused by the eye.

[0113] For example, defects in the retina of a user's eye may result in errors in the intensity, shape, magnification, or color seen by the user. In various embodiments, the wavelength or intensity of light in the image projected by the ophthalmic system may be modulated to treat color blindness in the user's eye. For example, the wavelength of light presented to the user may be altered based on a color blindness prescription to correct for color blindness. In some embodiments, modification of the 2D image (e.g., each 2D image may be a 2D representation of an image with a different depth of focus) may be used to correct dead spots or weak spots in the eye. For example, by mapping the eye to identify dead spots / weak spots, the light intensity of the projected image may be increased to correspond to identified areas of the eye or retina with dead spots or weak spots. Thus, in some embodiments, the image may be modified by changing the intensity of one or more portions of the presented image. For example, a fiber scanning display or spatial light modulator included in the ophthalmic system may vary the intensity as the image is generated.

[0114] Another example of correcting an image involves modifying the intensity pattern of the image. For example, if the image viewed by a user is known to exhibit radial distortion (e.g., barrel, pincushion, or mustache distortion), a compensatory distortion can be applied to the image to correct such distortion. The distortion being corrected is either the result of a refractive error in the eye or the result of a refractive error in the eye caused by the optics of the ophthalmic system, and thus will be known from the optical prescription or the ophthalmic system. In this manner, the ophthalmic system can correct the refractive error by modifying the intensity pattern of the projected image. For example, if a user's eye causes pincushion distortion in an image, the ophthalmic system can be configured to modify the intensity pattern of the image projected to the user via the display to introduce a predetermined amount of barrel distortion to cancel or reduce the amount of pincushion distortion in the image on the retina that inverts the pincushion distortion. Similarly, the ophthalmic system can be configured to correct an image where a user's eye causes barrel distortion by adding pincushion distortion to the intensity pattern that makes up the image on the display. In some embodiments, image correction can be performed to correct for fisheye distortion by modifying the image presented by the display by applying inverse angular and inverse amount distortions.

[0115] In various applications, a combination of wavefront correction and modification of the image produced by the ophthalmic system (e.g., modification of the intensity pattern that makes up the image) can be used to compensate for astigmatism or other imperfections in the user's eye.

[0116] In some embodiments, the ophthalmic system may be a patient-worn ophthalmic device, as shown in FIGS. 3A-3D and 5 , where the patient-worn ophthalmic device may be provided to correct vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The ophthalmic device includes a display device (62) including a light source (18) configured to project light (38) that is directed to a user's eye within a display lens (106) of the display device (62). The ophthalmic device may also direct ambient light from the ground, for example, from the ground in front of the user, to the user's eye through the display lens (106). The display device (62) may also include one or more adaptive optics (e.g., a variable focusing element or VFE, an electrically reconfigurable reflective or refractive optical element, etc.). Such adaptive optics may be included in the display lens 106, or may be located between the display lens 106 and the light source 18, or may be located between the display lens 106 and the eye or elsewhere in the eye's optical path. Adaptive optics, or VFE, are optical elements that can be dynamically altered, for example, by applying an electrical signal to the optical element to change the shape of a wavefront incident on the optical element. Adaptive optics may be reflective optical elements, such as deformable mirrors, or transmissive optical elements, such as dynamic lenses (e.g., liquid crystal lenses, electroactive lenses, conventional refractive lenses with movable elements, mechanically deformable lenses, electrowetting lenses, elastic lenses, or fluids with different refractive indices). Altering the shape or other properties of the adaptive optics may alter the wavefront incident on the optical system to provide optical correction, for example, by changing the focus of the wavefront as described herein.

[0117] In various embodiments, the ophthalmic device includes an outward-facing camera configured to capture ambient light from the environment surrounding the user. For example, the ophthalmic device may include one or more wide-field machine vision cameras (16) operably connected to the local processing module (70). These cameras may be configured to capture images of the environment around the user. In one embodiment, the cameras (16) are dual-capture visible / infrared cameras. Images captured by the cameras (16) are stored in the ophthalmic device's digital memory and retrieved for subsequent processing. The images are then retrieved by the ophthalmic device, which may then re-render the captured images to the user by projecting the images via the display device (62).

[0118] In various embodiments, the ophthalmic device can include a biofeedback system configured to determine a user's comfort level when viewing an object or image. For example, if the user's eyes are moving, changing focus, changing pupil size, changing convergence, etc., these can be indicators that the user is unable to comfortably view the object or image. In some embodiments, changes in focus or focus-related behavior can be expressed as erratic and random fluctuations, instability, and / or wobble in the eye's focus or behavior. Instability or wobble in focus or focus-related behavior can be an indication that the user is struggling to focus on the object or image or to adjust the focus so that the object or image is visible. Thus, the biofeedback system can receive input regarding the state or characteristics of the user's eye in real time.

[0119] In various embodiments, the ophthalmic device includes one or more eye-tracking cameras or other cameras or imaging systems that track one or more eyes of a user. For example, some embodiments may utilize a camera (24) (e.g., an infrared camera) paired with a light source (26) (e.g., an infrared light source), where the camera (24) is configured to monitor and track the user's eyes. These cameras and light sources may be operably connected to the local processing module (70). Such cameras and / or imaging systems may monitor eye orientation, eye pupil size, eye convergence, and the corresponding direction of gaze of each eye. As described below in connection with horopter technology, the camera (24) may be configured to determine the focusing of the user's eyes. In some embodiments, the camera (24) may be configured to determine the convergence point of the eyes, as described above with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0120] In some embodiments, the ophthalmic device includes a gyroscope sensor, an accelerometer, other sensors, or a combination thereof to monitor changes in head position, head pose, or head orientation. In some embodiments, the display device (62) can include a sensor assembly (39), configured to detect movements of the display device (62) caused by the user's head movements and the orientation of the display device (62). A biofeedback system can be configured to receive the detected head movements, and if the frequency and / or magnitude of the movements exceed a threshold, the system can determine that the user is unable to comfortably view the image. For example, constant head movements can indicate a search for a comfortable viewing position for the image. If such symptoms occur a...
