Abstract: A device and method for detecting, documenting, measuring and mapping the size, shape and location of lesions underlying the surface of the skin or other soft tissue in a subject by measuring variations in the tactile pressure of the skin or other tissue surface being investigated through the use of a capacitive tactile sensor is described. A capacitive tactile sensor comprises at least one exposure window, a substrate comprising a plurality of electrodes disposed within the housing, an insulating layer, a non-conductive compressible membrane and covering positioned over the insulating layer wherein at least a portion of the membrane is accessible via the exposure window, and a controller configured to calculate at least one parameter of a tissue of a subject. A method of measuring a tissue parameter in a subject and a method of performing a self-guided examination on a tissue of a subject are also described.

Abstract: A pair of eyeglasses includes a lens support structure having an elongated cavity formed therein that defines an air plenum extending transversely across the lens support structure. Air blowers are situated at opposite axial ends of the lens support structure and generate pressurized air into the elongated cavity. A HEPA filter is situated within the elongated cavity. A plurality of orifices formed in a bottom surface of the lens support structure directs pressurized air from the elongated cavity into the space between the eyeglass lens and the eyes of a user to displace allergens. Electronic circuitry, including a battery and switch, is situated within the lens support structure and operates the blowers. A status indicator is situated on the lens support structure to provide a visual indication of the operational state of the blowers and condition of the battery.
