Shwetak Patel and UW colleagues have developed PupilScreen, an app that uses a phone’s camera to detect concussion from the pupil.
The phone’s video camera and flash check the eye for its pupillary light reflex, measures size changes associated with concussion. Machine learning algorithms confirm the diagnosis.
Hospitals typically use a pen light to check for concussions, which is much less accurate than a pupillometer.
PupilScreen was tested on 48 healthy and tbi patients. The team reported that it “diagnosed brain injuries with almost perfect accuracy using the app’s output alone.”
