A recent position paper highlights the potential of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, particularly in analyzing retinal images for cardiovascular risk assessment. By utilizing fundus photography, AI can detect elevated HbA1c levels, a key indicator of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, without the need for blood draws. This innovative approach is part of the emerging field of oculomics, which focuses on ophthalmic biomarkers to provide insights into overall health.
The study emphasizes the importance of developing reliable AI models for assessing cardiovascular risks while addressing challenges in clinical adoption. It showcases preliminary research where AI models were trained to predict HbA1c levels based on retinal images, revealing that biased training samples can negatively impact model performance. The collaboration among various institutions aims to responsibly leverage AI technology to enhance patient care and improve chronic disease management.
• AI can analyze retinal images to assess cardiovascular risk factors.
• Oculomics leverages AI for early detection of systemic health issues.
Oculomics is crucial for understanding how eye health can reflect broader health conditions.
It is used in this context to assess diabetes risk through retinal imaging.
In this study, AI models were trained using fundus images to predict HbA1c levels.
The university's collaboration in this study aims to advance AI applications in patient care.
Its involvement in the study reflects a commitment to integrating AI technology in ophthalmology.
