NCT ID NCT07151001
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an artificial intelligence system called iPredict-DR that analyzes retinal photos to detect diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness. Researchers will enroll 922 adults with diabetes at primary care and endocrinology clinics. The AI's accuracy will be compared against human experts to see if it can reliably identify early signs of eye damage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iPredict-DR AI software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could allow routine screening for diabetic eye disease in primary care clinics, catching it early before vision loss occurs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pivotal trial, but the AI must prove it matches expert ophthalmologists. If accuracy falls short, it may not be adopted widely.
