Infrared Eyes(iREyes)

红外线眼睛摘要 Eden Medical，Inc.很高兴提交SBIR第二阶段的建议，以开发“红外眼”（iREyes）成像系统， 经济实惠且功能强大的医疗保健移动的健康（mHealth）工具。手持式iREyes系统将采集热量和 可见光谱成像，通过热指数方法量化愈合。iREyes将提供用户友好的产品， 自动分类。糖尿病足伤口是常见的，复杂的和昂贵的。容易溃疡的足部区域是 与由于炎症和组织的酶自溶引起的局部皮肤温度升高相关。炎症是 以红、肿、热等主要症状为特征。iREyes还将识别与以下内容相关的热点： 重复压力，以减少溃疡的风险。iREyes将通过对侧直接量化炎症病理生理学， 局部足指数图像分析。自动分类能力将改善诊断， 专业人士更好地跟踪伤口愈合的进展以及治疗的效果。这是一项重大改进 超过目前的做法。在7英寸平板电脑的大小上，iREyes将可见光和远红外成像结合到mHealth解决方案中 用于伤口诊所和治疗中心。

Infrared Eyes Abstract Eden Medical, Inc. is pleased to submit this Phase 2 SBIR proposal to develop the “Infrared Eyes” (iREyes) imager system, an affordable and powerful mobile health (mHealth) tool for healthcare. The hand-held iREyes system will acquire both thermal and visible spectrum imagery to quantify healing via thermal indexing methodology. The iREyes will offer a user-friendly product with automated categorization. Diabetic foot wounds are common, complex and costly. Foot areas that are likely to ulcerate are associated with increased local skin temperature due to inflammation and enzymatic autolysis of tissue. Inflammation is characterized by the cardinal signs including redness, swelling, and heat. The iREyes will also identify hot spots associated with repetitive stress to reduce ulceration risk. iREyes will directly quantify inflammation pathophysiology through contralateral and regional foot index image analysis. The automated categorization capability will improve diagnosis and enable medical professionals to better track progress of wound healing as well as efficacy of treatment. This represents a significant improvement over current practice. At the size of a 7-inch tablet, the iREyes combines visible and far infrared imaging into a mHealth solution for wound clinics and treatment centers.
