1. A pupilometer comprising:
- image capturing means;
illumination means generating and emitting light of a first wavelength;
stimulation means generating and emitting light of a second wavelength; and
image processing software that receives data from the image capturing means, identifies a pupil'"'"'s dynamic response to light generated by the stimulation means, analyzes one or more components of the pupil'"'"'s dynamic response, and produces an output comprising a value indicative of a neurological condition of a patient.

Abstract
A pupilometer having image capturing means, illumination means generating and emitting light of a first wavelength, stimulation means generating and emitting light of a second wavelength, and image processing software. The image processing software receives data from the image capturing means, identifies a pupil'"'"'s dynamic response to light generated by the stimulation means, analyzes one or more components of the pupil'"'"'s dynamic response, and produces an output comprising a value indicative of a neurological condition of a patient.

13. A method for assessing the neurological condition of an individual comprising:
-
using a pupilometer, obtaining pupilary response data from a patient, said pupilary response data being representative of one or more components of a pupil'"'"'s dynamic response to a stimulus;
analyzing the pupilary response data within an automated data analysis system; and
deriving with the automated data analysis system an output comprising a value indicative of a neurological condition of the individual. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
