1. VR Telediagnosis
April 26, 2017

2. What is the problem?
• Parkinsonian syndrome
– 25% of patients are misdiagnosed
• No telemedicine for diagnosis and
treatment
• The “Eyes Have It”
VR Eye Tracker for Remote Diagnosis of Neurological
Disease, Cognition, and Pain

3. How does product/service solve problem?
• Low Cost VR Eye-tracker
• Accessibility: No need for specialist in the room
– Emulation
– Augmentation
– Automatic recording
• Accuracy: Standardized, repeatable, reliable, and valid
Oculus Rift DK2 IR Camera Integration

4. What is the market use?
• Differential Diagnosis
– Parkinson
– Alzheimer
– Multiple Sclerosis
• Cognition
– Subliminal cognitive deficits
• Pain
– VR for pain reduction
– Pupil tracking for pain detection

5. What competition exists?
• Other technologies available
– More complex
– More expensive
– Not focused on eye, cognition, and pain

6. What is the status of the intellectual property?
• Hardware and methods are patent-pending
– Provisional Patent Filed via KU Innovation with Augusta
University, Osaka University (Japan)
• Proprietary software
– Custom VR environments
– Eye detection and augmentation
– Algorithms to detect eye problems, cognition, and pain

7. What is the stage of development?
• Initial demonstration of effectiveness proven
through test with Parkinson’s patients
• Current use as a research tool

8. What is needed for further development?
• Further R&D required for commercialization
• Testing this invention with a geographical segment
likely to use the invention will be most beneficial
• Final cost advantage should be fully fleshed out
during the research and development stage
