Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing user physiology via eye tracking data. One method includes determining a plurality of visual assessments; determining, for each assessment of the plurality of visual assessments, a data schema, where at least one data schema is associated with more than one assessment of the plurality of visual assessments; storing the determined data schema; receiving user eye tracking data associated with a selected visual assessment of the plurality of visual assessments; determining, of the stored data schema (a), a selected stored data schema associated with the selected visual assessment; categorizing the received eye tracking data based on the selected stored data schema; computing quantitative data based on the categorized data and data related to one or more individuals other than the user; generating a report of user physiological function based on the computed quantitative data; and outputting the report to a web portal.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a computer-implemented method of assessing user physiology and performance by determining a plurality of visual assessments, where each visual assessment includes an eye tracking exercise applicable to evaluate one or more physiological functions. The physiological functions include reading ability, physical performance vision, and neurological function, and a selected visual assessment is associated with a received performance event. The method receives user eye tracking data corresponding to the selected visual assessment.

For the selected visual assessment, the method determines and accesses a stored data schema and categorizes the received eye tracking data based on the stored data schema. The method retrieves categorized eye tracking data related to one or more individuals, where the retrieved data is categorized based on the stored data schema. The method computes quantitative data based on both the categorized user eye tracking data and the retrieved categorized eye tracking data related to one or more individuals.

The method generates and displays an electronic interface that includes an evaluation of the physiological function of the user corresponding to the selected visual assessment, and the evaluation is based on the computed quantitative data. The platform includes a cloud-based private assessment platform architecture with processors executing evaluation logic, stored data schemas, categorization of raw eye-tracking data into multi-level structures, and report generation delivered via a web portal.

Claims Coverage

The independent claims are directed to a computer-implemented method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for assessing user physiology and performance using multiple visual assessments with eye tracking. Each independent claim includes at least five main inventive features centered on stored data schema access, categorization of eye tracking data, retrieval of categorized eye tracking data for one or more individuals, computation of quantitative data, and generation and display of an electronic interface evaluation.

The shared claim coverage centers on mapping user eye tracking data from selected visual assessments into a stored data schema, categorizing it, retrieving categorized eye tracking data from one or more individuals using the same schema, computing quantitative data from both user and retrieved categorized data, and generating an electronic interface that displays an evaluation corresponding to the selected visual assessment.
