1. A user-wearable diagnostic health system comprising:
- a frame configured to mount on the user;
an augmented reality display attached to the frame and configured to direct images to an eye of the user, wherein the augmented reality display comprises a stack of waveguides, each waveguide configured to;
allow a view of the world through the waveguide; and
form images by directing light out of the waveguide and into the eye of the user,wherein each waveguide of the stack of waveguides comprises;
in-coupling diffractive optical elements configured to in-couple light provided by a light source, andout-coupling diffractive optical elements configured to out-couple in-coupled light to the eye of the user,wherein the out-coupling diffractive optical elements of one or more waveguides of the stack of waveguides are configured to output the light with a different amount of wavefront divergence than the out-coupling diffractive optical elements of one or more other waveguides of the stack of waveguides, wherein an amount of wavefront divergence of the one or more waveguides corresponds to a first depth plane and an amount of wavefront divergence of the one or more other waveguides corresponds to a second depth plane;
a light detector attached to the frame and configured to detect light reflected from an eye of the user; and
a processor configured to conduct a health analysis of the user based on light detected by the light detector.

Abstract
Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user'"'"'s body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.
