Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This prospective study aims to validate if NeoRetina, an artificial intelligence algorithm developped by DIAGNOS Inc. and trained to automatically detect the presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by the analysis of macula centered eye fundus photographies, can detect this disease and grade its severity.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment NeoRetina, NeoRetina, CARA for diabetic retinopathy?

Research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively screen for diabetic retinopathy (a diabetes-related eye condition) by analyzing eye images, which suggests that AI-based treatments like NeoRetina, NeoRetina, CARA could be useful in identifying this condition early.

Is the AI system for diabetic retinopathy screening safe for humans?

The studies reviewed focus on the effectiveness of AI systems in screening for diabetic retinopathy, but they do not report any specific safety concerns related to their use in humans.

678910
How is the treatment NeoRetina different from other treatments for diabetic retinopathy?

NeoRetina is unique because it uses artificial intelligence to analyze eye images for diabetic retinopathy, offering a non-invasive and efficient screening method compared to traditional manual examinations.

Predictive, preventive, and personalized management of retinal fluid via computer-aided detection app for optical coherence tomography scans. [2023]Computer-aided detection systems for retinal fluid could be beneficial for disease monitoring and management by chronic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients, to assist in disease prevention via early detection before the disease progresses to a "wet AMD" pathology or diabetic macular edema (DME), requiring treatment. We propose a proof-of-concept AI-based app to help predict fluid via a "fluid score", prevent fluid progression, and provide personalized, serial monitoring, in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM) for patients at risk of retinal fluid complications.

[2023]Label="OBJECTIVE" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">In the pivotal clinical trial that led to Food and Drug Administration De Novo "approval" of the first fully autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic retinal disease diagnostic system, a reflexive dilation protocol was used. Using real-world deployment data before implementation of reflexive dilation, we identified factors associated with nondiagnostic results. These factors allow a novel predictive dilation workflow, where patients most likely to benefit from pharmacologic dilation are dilated a priori to maximize efficiency and patient satisfaction.
