AI breakthrough in detecting leading cause of childhood blindness

Summary by Ground News

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of childhood blindness in middle-income countries and in the US. As many as 30% of newborns in sub-Saharan Africa have some degree of ROP and can cause blindness if not detected and treated quickly. UCL-Moorfields team have developed a deep learning AI model to screen for ROP. It was trained on a sample of 7,414 images of the eyes of 1,370 newborns who had been admitted to the Homerton Hospital, London.

AI may help spot newborns at risk for most severe form of blinding disease

An artificial intelligence (AI) device that has been fast-tracked for approval by the Food and Drug Administration may help identify newborns at risk for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP). AP-ROP is the most severe form of ROP.

Artificial Intelligence Identifies Infants at Risk of Blinding Disease

Researchers have developed a deep learning AI tool that can automate the diagnostics of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness. The tool was found to be as effective as senior pediatric ophthalmologists in discriminating normal retinal images from those with ROP that could lead to blindness, and the researchers hope it will improve access to care in underserved areas and prevent blindness in thousands of newborn…
