Patent number: 11129532Abstract: A portable retinal imaging device for imaging the fundus of the eye. The device includes an ocular imaging device containing ocular lensing and filters, a fixation display, and a light source, and is configured for coupling to a mobile device containing a camera, display, and application programming for controlling retinal imaging. The light source is configured for generating a sustained low intensity light (e.g., IR wavelength) during preview, followed by a light flash during image capture. The ocular imaging device works in concert with application programming on the mobile device to control subject gaze through using a fixation target when capturing retinal imaging on the mobile device, which are then stitched together using imaging processing into an image having a larger field of view.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Daniel Fletcher, Robi Maamari, Neil Switz, Todd Margolis, Frank Myers, III, Kim Tyson, Clay Reber

Patent number: 10989907Abstract: An imaging system consisting of a cell-phone with camera as the detection part of an optical train which includes other components. Optionally, an illumination system to create controlled contrast in the sample. Uses include but are not limited to disease diagnosis, symptom analysis, and post-procedure monitoring, and other applications to humans, animals, and plants.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Daniel Fletcher, Wendy Hansen, Neil Switz, David N. Breslauer, Erik Douglas, Robi Maamari, Wilbur Lam, Jesse Dill

Publication number: 20200336630Abstract: An improved system and methods for enhancing the imaging of cameras included with wireless mobile devices, such as cellular phone or tablets. The imaging system includes a releasable optical attachment for imaging skin surfaces and cavities of the body. The releasable optical attachment comprises optical enhancement elements such as magnifying lenses, illumination diverting elements, and filters. Images can be viewed and analyzed on the mobile device, or transmitted to another location/device for analysis by a person or software. The results can be used to provide diagnosis, or for a variety of other applications including image comparison over time and product recommendations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: October 22, 2020Applicant: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Daniel Fletcher, Erik Douglas, Amy Sheng, Wilbur Lam, Robi Maamari

Publication number: 20200237216Abstract: A handheld, ocular imaging device and system that employs the camera, processor and programming of a mobile phone, tablet or other smart device coupled to optical elements and illumination elements that can be used to image the structures of the eye in non-clinical locations, for example is presented. The modular device provides multi-functionality (fluorescein imaging, fluorescence, brightfield, infrared (IR) imaging, near-infrared (NIR) imaging) and multi-region imaging (retinal, corneal, external, etc.) of the eye along with the added features of image processing, storage and wireless data transmission for remote storage and evaluation. Acquired ocular images can also be transmitted directly from the device to the electronic medical records of a patient without the need for an intermediate computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2019Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Daniel Fletcher, Robi Maamari, Neil Switz, Todd P.
