AI eye scan could catch diabetes blindness early

This study tests whether an AI software can help doctors better detect diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease caused by diabetes that can lead to blindness. About 340 adults with type 2 diabetes who have not been previously diagnosed with the condition will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus the AI analysis of their eye images. The goal is to see if the AI tool leads to more accurate referrals to eye specialists and earlier diagnosis.
