Abstract
Systems and methods for treating myopia are provided. A system may include a digital apparatus, which may include a digital instruction generation unit configured to generate digital therapeutic modules for treating myopia based on a mechanism of action (MOA) in and a therapeutic hypothesis for the myopia, generate specified digital instructions based on the digital therapeutic modules and provide the digital instructions to a first user, and an outcome collection unit configured to collect the first user's execution outcomes of the digital instructions. The system may also include a healthcare provider portal for a healthcare provider to manage their patients and/or an administrative portal.
Core Innovation
The invention provides, by a digital apparatus to the subject, a digital application comprising at least one module selected from an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module for treating myopia. Each module comprises one or more first instructions for the subject to follow, and the modules are provided based on a mechanism of action in and a therapeutic hypothesis for the myopia.
The digital apparatus comprises a sensor sensing adherence to the at least one module by the subject to the one or more first instructions of the at least one module. The digital apparatus transmits adherence information, based on the adherence, to a server accessible by a healthcare provider through a healthcare provider portal, and receives one or more second instructions of the at least one module from the healthcare provider based on the adherence information.
The digital application instructs a processor of the digital apparatus to execute operations comprising collecting the subject's execution outcomes of the one or more first instructions. The collecting comprises determining one or both of an exercise intensity (EI) and an average exercise intensity (AEI), supporting assessment of the subject’s execution of the first instructions in the digital-therapeutics system for treating myopia.
Claims Coverage
The disclosed subject matter includes one independent claim covering treating myopia with mechanism-of-action/therapeutic-hypothesis-based digital modules, adherence sensing with healthcare-provider portal exchange of instructions, and collection of execution outcomes including EI and/or AEI. No additional independent claims are provided in the partial content.
Mechanism-of-action and therapeutic-hypothesis modules with subject instructions
Providing, by a digital apparatus to the subject, a digital application comprising at least one module selected from the group consisting of an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module for treating myopia based on a mechanism of action in and a therapeutic hypothesis for the myopia, wherein each of the at least one module comprises one or more first instructions for the subject to follow.
Adherence sensing with healthcare-provider portal instruction exchange
Comprising sensor sensing adherence to the at least one module by the subject to the one or more first instructions of the at least one module, transmitting adherence information, based on the adherence, to a server accessible by a healthcare provider through a healthcare provider portal, and receiving one or more second instructions of the at least one module from the healthcare provider based on the adherence information.
Execution-outcome collection with exercise intensity determination
Executing operations comprising collecting the subject's execution outcomes of the one or more first instructions, wherein the collecting comprises determining one or both of an exercise intensity (EI) and an average exercise intensity (AEI).
Overall, the independent claim focuses on mechanism-of-action/therapeutic-hypothesis-based therapeutic modules with first instructions, sensor-based adherence sensing with adherence information transmitted to a healthcare-provider-accessible server and second instructions received from the healthcare provider, and execution-outcome collection that determines EI and/or AEI.
