AI eye tools, developed with Google DeepMind, can detect diseases like macular degeneration with specialist accuracy, aiming to cut delays and expand access to care.
Over two billion people globally have vision impairment, much of it preventable, but eye care demand outpaces supply, especially in systems like the UK’s NHS.
Professor Pearse Keane of Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL explains how AI tools—developed with Google DeepMind and using platforms like RETFound and the INSIGHT data hub—can detect eye diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma with specialist-level accuracy, speeding up triage and expanding access to care.
The AI, trained on vast unlabeled data and supported by secure, privacy-protected infrastructure, aims to reduce delays and improve equity in eye health, with clinical deployment expected within years, not decades.
Human oversight remains central, and experts urge early eye exams for at-risk groups.
Las herramientas oculares de IA, desarrolladas con Google DeepMind, pueden detectar enfermedades como la degeneración macular con una precisión especializada, con el objetivo de reducir los retrasos y ampliar el acceso a la atención.
