  • Patent number: 12605066
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20260094684
    Abstract: A method of assessing the effectiveness of a psychotropic drug on a mammalian subject is described. The method includes providing a pupilometer having a display, using the pupilometer to obtain pupillary biomarker data from at least one pupil of the subject before the subject is administered the psychotropic drug, using the pupilometer to obtain pupillary biomarker data from at least one pupil of the subject after the subject is administered the psychotropic drug, using the pupilometer to process all of the pupillary biomarker data, and displaying an output on the display of the pupilometer that indicates the effectiveness of the psychotropic drug.

  • Publication number: 20250325178
    Abstract: A pupillometer comprising a camera, a light source, a display, and a microprocessor configured with an algorithm to generate an indexed output representing pupillary light reflex reactivity. The indexed output is substantially invariant to changes in baseline pupil size caused by pharmacologic agents such as opioids or by ambient lighting variations, thereby providing a robust and reliable measure of neurologic function across a wide range of clinical conditions.

  • Publication number: 20250311962
    Abstract: A method for assessing pupillary shape using a pupillometer is described. The method includes capturing sequential images of a subject's pupil; analyzing the images using an image processing algorithm associated with the pupilometer to determine pupil shape characteristics, including ellipticity, eccentricity, and cyclotorsion; using an image processing mode associated with the pupilometer selected from speckle imaging and spectral imaging to enhance visualization of vascular structures with an iris of the pupil; comparing detected pupil shape characteristics against predetermined criteria to assess the presence of abnormalities; and outputting a binary status, graphical representation, or quantified measurement of the pupil shape on a display.

  • Publication number: 20250054638
    Abstract: A method of assessing a health condition of a mammalian subject includes using a pupilometer to take three or more sequential measurements over a period of time of the left eye and the right eye of the subject and determining the NPI of each eye at each measurement, wherein the subject is hospitalized as a result of stroke, TBI, acute brain injury or other neurological impairment. The method also includes displaying on a display of the pupilometer a comparison between the NPI of the left and the NPI of right eye at each of the three or more sequential measurements, determining whether the subject exhibits NPI differential persistence, and assessing the subject with having an increased risk of a bad neurological or health outcome if the patient exhibits NPI differential persistence.

  • Publication number: 20250000356
    Abstract: A method of screening a pupil of a subject to determine whether the pupil reflex resembles a canonical pupil reflex is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of stimulating the pupil with a stimulus source, such as a pupilometer and determining whether one of various pupillary response conditions is met.

  • Publication number: 20230113341
    Abstract: A method of predicting the outcome of a hospitalized acute brain injury patient is provided. The method includes using a pupilometer to take paired pupillary measurements of a left and right eye of the patient; using the pupilometer to determine NPI of the left eye and display it on a display of the pupillometer; using the pupillometer to determine NPI of the right eye and display it on the display of the pupillometer; calculating a differential between NPI of the left eye and NPI of the right eye and display said NPI differential on the display of the pupillometer; and predicting an unfavorable health or neurological outcome if the NPIs of the left and right eyes indicate normal pupillary responses for each eye but the NPI differential meets or exceeds a given threshold value.
