Scottish researchers are developing an AI tool to help opticians identify early signs of dementia through eye examinations. By analyzing retinal photographs, the AI can assess blood vessel health, potentially indicating neurodegenerative diseases before symptoms appear. This innovative approach aims to leverage routine eye tests to enhance early diagnosis and treatment options for dementia.
The NeurEYE research team has amassed nearly a million eye scans, creating the largest dataset of its kind. This data will enable the development of an algorithm that could revolutionize how dementia is diagnosed, allowing for earlier intervention. The project, led by the University of Edinburgh, highlights the eye's role as a window into overall brain health, emphasizing the importance of regular eye check-ups.
