While #AI hype machine is in overdrive we are thrilled to see that #DeepLearning is making steady inroads into making lives of #opthalmologists easier.
We believe in this too and include practical and hands-on datasets in our own trainings so more engineers and doctors can work together to diagnose such diseases!
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a major microvascular complication of diabetes, has a significant impact on the world's health systems. Globally, the number of people with DR will grow from 126.6 million in 2010 to 191.0 million by 2030.
In U.S alone, more than 29 million people have diabetes, and are at risk for diabetic retinopathy, a potentially blinding eye disease. People typically don't notice changes in their vision in the disease's early stages. But as it progresses, diabetic retinopathy usually causes vision loss that in many cases cannot be reversed. That's why it's so important that people with diabetes have yearly screenings.
Unfortunately, the accuracy of screenings can vary significantly. One study found a 49 percent error rate among internists, diabetologists, and medical residents. This is really bad!
