Elaine's Story
- Elaine lost sight in one eye due to macular degeneration before effective treatments.
- She then began losing sight in her other eye but faced a six-week wait for an appointment.
AI Triaging
- Deep learning can triage eye scans, prioritizing urgent cases like wet AMD.
- This allows faster diagnosis and treatment, potentially saving patients' sight.
Two-Network Approach
- The AI uses two neural networks: one identifies disease features, and the other makes a diagnosis.
- This two-step process allows doctors to interrogate the AI's findings, increasing confidence in its assessments.
