AI could help spot eye disease in kids with diabetes

NCT ID NCT07149142

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will test whether artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively screen for diabetic retinopathy (eye damage) in 400 children with type 1 diabetes. Each child will have their eyes examined using an AI-powered camera, standard eye exams, and a detailed scan. The researchers will compare the AI results to the standard methods to see if AI is a reliable, easy-to-use screening tool. They will also look at how common eye problems are in this group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Artificial intelligence software for diabetic retinopathy screening

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make eye screening faster and easier for children with diabetes, potentially catching problems earlier.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study at one center. The AI may not be as accurate as standard exams, and results may not apply to all children.
