简要总结
Eye health is of great importance for quality of life. Some eye diseases can progress and cause permanent damage up to vision loss if they are not treated early. Therefore, it is of great importance to have regular eye examinations and to detect possible eye diseases before they progress. Healthy people should also undergo eye screening once a year, and those with any complaints regarding eye health should be examined.
With the advancing technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to play a significant role in the healthcare sector. Retinal diseases, serious health problems resulting from damage to the back part of the eye's retina, include conditions such as retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Artificial intelligence, with its visual recognition and analysis capabilities, holds great potential in the early diagnosis of retinal diseases.
AI-based diagnosis of retinal diseases typically involves the use of specialized algorithms that analyze retinal images. These algorithms identify abnormal features in the eye, providing doctors with a quick and accurate diagnosis.
EyeCheckup v2.0 will diagnose glaucoma suspicion, severe glaucoma suspicion, age-related macular degeneration diagnosis, RVO diagnosis, diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and stage, presence/absence of DME suspicion and other retinal diseases from fundus images. This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of EyeCheckup v2.0.
The study is a single center study to determine the sensitivity and specificity of EyeCheckup to retinal and optic disc diseases. EyeCheckup v2.0 is an automated software device that is designed to analyze ocular fundus digital color photographs taken in frontline primary care settings in order to quickly screen.
详细描述
According to the World Health Organization's worldwide report published in 2020, at least 2.2 billion people worldwide currently have visual impairment, and at least 1 billion of them have a visual impairment that can be prevented or has not yet been addressed. The world faces significant eye health challenges, including inequalities in the coverage and quality of eye care prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services, a lack of trained eye care providers, and poor integration of eye care services into health systems, among others.
It is known that more than 80% of all visual disorders can be prevented or treated. An eye fundus examination must be performed by a retina specialist to make a correct diagnosis, but people only consult an ophthalmologist when they feel any discomfort. While typically symptoms progress so much that once a disease occurs, resulting in expensive treatments and surgeries, often the damage is irreversible, resulting in visual impairment or even permanent vision loss.
Artificial intelligence is used to study and develop theories and methods that can help simulate and extend human intelligence, which have been used in many fields of research such as automatic diagnosis and medicine. In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and modern medicine has made effective and rapid disease screening possible. EyeCheckup is an automated software device designed to analyze digital color photographs of the ocular fundus to quickly screen for retinal and optic disc diseases.
The main aim of the research is to evaluate the performance of the automatic screening algorithm to detect steerable retinal and optic disc diseases based on color fundus images and to determine its sensitivity and specificity towards possible diseases. For the clinical validation of the system, the images will be evaluated by ophthalmologists and the results will be compared with the artificial intelligence algorithm.
After exclusions, this study will enroll up to 1528 subjects that meet the eligibility criteria. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited after obtaining written informed consent from primary health care providers. Subjects will undergo fundus photography per, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared, ophthalmic cameras. Images will be taken according to a specific EyeCheckup imaging protocol provided to the ophthalmic camera operator and then analyzed by the EyeCheckup v2.0 device.
