Abstract
A method of operating a device to obtain biometric information from a subject includes the step of orienting a device relative to a subject such that a first portion of the device faces the subject, wherein a second portion of the mobile device comprises a camera, the first and second portions being different sides of the device. The method may further includes the steps of operating an optical assembly that is movably coupled to the device, the optical assembly being configured to modify an optical pathway of at least the camera in a direction of the subject and acquiring imaging data of the subject using the camera. The method may further includes the steps of analyzing the acquired imaging data to generate biometric information corresponding to the subject and generating a report using the biometric information.
