NCT ID NCT07471971

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested an artificial intelligence tool called RetinAIcheck to see if it can accurately detect and grade hypertensive retinopathy—eye damage caused by high blood pressure. Researchers used 729 patients' eye photos and compared the AI's results to assessments by eye doctors. The goal was to see if the AI could be a reliable, fast way to screen for this condition.

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

Active substance
RetinAIcheck (an AI diagnostic tool)
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI could help doctors quickly and accurately detect eye damage from high blood pressure, potentially preventing vision loss.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but the AI was tested only on a Russian population and may not work as well in other groups. Also, AI tools can sometimes make mistakes that human doctors would catch.
