Virtual reality (VR) technology uses the human eye as a medium to communicate with an individual. It allows for technological access to the wearer's eye which can be inspected to identify health issues to initiate preventative care. Potential health impact of early diagnosis includes reducing 600k deaths due to heart conditions. The foundation of I-Examination is improving the quality of health of those we hold dear, our family and friends.VR is growing in popularity. People use it recreationally, viewing movies, conducting virtual tours, playing games, professionally for training or educational knowledge share. I-Examination, embedded within a VR, would have unlimited opportunities to examine the wearer's eyes. The application could run in the background as the individual engages in work or entertainment. It can also be directly applied during health assessments or routine eye examinations supporting an ophthalmologist to provide faster service effectively.Current iris technology is already functional for biometrics supporting security, device log-on, and personal account management. Expanding this technology to the measure that I-Examination presents, VR scanning would present biometrics with opportunities to identify illnesses which are currently identifiable through eye exams. Patients who missed their annual eye examinations would still be presented with an opportunity for early diagnosis and a fighting chance to identify a health concern before it is dangerous or deadly.
