NCT ID NCT07447973
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can diagnose eye diseases from slit-lamp and smartphone photos. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately identify conditions and even generate reports and specialist referrals. About 2,000 participants with and without eye concerns will have their photos analyzed by the AI, and its diagnoses will be compared to those made by eye doctors.
