SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ANALYSIS OF VISUAL FUNCTION USING A MOBILE DEVICE WITH DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A method for performing a visual function evaluation of a patient with a retinal disease who is under recurrent treatment, the method comprising:
- executing a patient administered visual function evaluation on a mobile device, wherein the evaluation includes one or more visual function tests pre-selected by a healthcare provider, wherein each test is comprised of a number of steps and the difficulty of a subsequent step is based on a patient'"'"'s response to a previous step within the test; and
indicating at least one response to a pre-selected visual function test using a touch screen on the mobile device.

Abstract
A visual function evaluation is performed using a sequence of interactions with a mobile device. A patient user may perform a variety of visual tests using the mobile device. The mobile device transmits the test results to a remote server implementing analysis of the visual function results using network service. The network service receives the test results, processes the results, and provides the processed results to a healthcare provider. The processed results may include trends of the user'"'"'s visual function test performance. The healthcare provider, such as a physician, may optimize and administer treatment based on the data. Early detection of changes in visual function can enable the healthcare provider to individualize treatment, helping to prevent vision loss while minimizing visits to the office, discomfort, and expense.

32. A method for performing analysis of a visual function of a user with a retinal disease who is receiving recurrent treatment from a healthcare provider, comprising:
-
receiving the user'"'"'s visual function test data from a remote mobile device application; executing a test data analysis module stored in memory by a processor, the executed test data analysis module processing the visual function test data to generate a trend data of visual function and analyzing the trend data of visual function based on the retinal disease of the user to determine the user'"'"'s response to treatment, need for treatment, or need for evaluation by a healthcare provider; and transmitting the visual function test data and the trend data to a remote computing device. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
