  • Publication number: 20240215815
    Abstract: A mask for performing an eye exam of a subject includes one or more optically transparent sections for transmitting an incident light beam therethrough and incident on the subject's eye. In some embodiments, the one or more optically transparent sections are coated with an anti-reflective coating configured to reduce reflection of the incident light beam by the one or more optically transparent sections. In some embodiments, the one or more optically transparent sections may have a portion thereof that is tilted with respect to the incident light beam when the mask is optically interfaced with the docking portion of an ophthalmic instrument, such that the incident light beam forms a finite angle of incidence with respect to the corresponding portion of the optically transparent sections.

  • Publication number: 20220067864
    Abstract: An electronic healthcare data de-identification system can accept data containing personally-identifiable information and output de-identified healthcare data that is uniquely identifiable and has preserved temporal order. The unique identity of the de-identified healthcare data is preserved with universally unique identifiers and the temporal order of the de-identified healthcare data is maintained with universally unique sequence values that synchronize the timing of healthcare events. The embodiments described herein make healthcare data more accessible to users without endangering their privacy and allow conclusions to be made from large sets of data without restricting its use due to privacy concerns. Other embodiments are also described.

  • Patent number: 10631725
    Abstract: An inflatable mask with two ocular cavities can seal against a user's face by forming an air-tight seal around the periphery of the user's eye socket. The sealed air-tight ocular cavity can be pressurized to take ocular measurements. The mask can conform to the contours of a user's face by inflating or deflating the mask. In addition, the distance between the user and a medical device (e.g. an optical coherence tomography instrument) can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the mask. Also disclosed herein is an electronic encounter portal and an automated eye examination. Other embodiments are also described.
