Abstract
A method to track a user's gaze for medical diagnostics is described. The method includes detecting a gaze behavior of a user in response to a stimulus. The stimulus is a non-diagnostic stimulus. The method also includes determining a type of the stimulus and generating an indication of the gaze behavior and the type of the stimulus. The indication may then be used to generate an expected gaze pattern describing expected gaze behavior to given stimuli. Additionally, the indication may be used to determine whether the gaze behavior is indicative of a potential problem and, in response, an alert may be generated. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
