diabetic retinopathy

The tech giant and its partners will work to make AI-enabled eyesight-saving care more readily available to clinical systems across both countries.

The Israeli startup said it's now focused on receiving clearance to use its AEYE-DS system with a portable camera.

It can diagnose diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema in 5-10 seconds.

A new study in The Lancet found that a deep-learning algorithm was able to detect vision-threatening retinopathy with 94.7% accuracy. 

It will implement digital initiatives such as telehealth and an AI-powered eye care service.

A new study suggests that a deep learning system would save on the roughly two minutes of human labor required to grade each case, although a semi-automated approach was found to drive the greatest savings for large programs.

Google also announced that it is shutting down the Google Fit website on March 19. 

Pivotal trial data that led to April’s de novo clearance of the first AI-based diagnostic system to not require clinician interpretation is now available to the public.
