Researchers based at the University of Houston have developed a small wearable sensor that is able to collect accurate measurements of eye movements for prediction of neurological disorders.
Writing in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, the researchers argue that their technology has advantages over other technologies for monitoring eye movements as it is small, non-invasive, inexpensive and can monitor eye movements continuously over time.
“Many brain-related diseases and abnormalities are manifested by ocular symptoms which, in many cases even precede the other symptoms, and are hence used for the conventional alternative diagnosis of such disorders,” explained lead author Jae-Hyun Ryou, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Houston, and colleagues.
