AI eye scanner could catch retina disease earlier

NCT ID NCT07680244

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study evaluates PathFinder 1.0, a software that analyzes OCT images of the retina to detect macular abnormalities such as epiretinal membrane, dry age-related macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions. About 400 adults with and without macular issues will undergo standard OCT imaging, and the software's ability to correctly identify abnormalities will be measured. The goal is to see if this tool can reliably assist doctors in diagnosing retinal diseases.
