AI is poised to be instrumental in the decision-making process for physicians, but ultimately, it cannot replace the human element.
Retinal imaging is critical in the field of ophthalmology and provides a trove of information that enables physicians to visualize a disease and its pathology, severity, and progress. For years, researchers have been exploring how to take the plethora of images available to gain more insight into eye health and to turn that insight into action with potential to improve patient health. With the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), these efforts are accelerating and generating compelling advancements in the field, from research to diagnosis to treatment.
