The presentation will be addressing the reality and challenges of global epidemy of diabetes, with focus on complications caused by diabetic eye disease and will discuss how related risks could be mitigated. While diabetes as such is threating up to 20% of populations, while the ME region being particularly impacted, there is a number of severe comorbidities representing additional burden to diabetic patients. One with a most catastrophic consequences to quality of life of patients is diabetic eye disease.

Our company Aireen has dedicated its efforts to fight diabetic eye disease by leveraging the power of AI.

Key learning objectives:

  • Diagnostic and screening issues related to Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
  • The usual practice of screening for DR by ophthalmologists has significant limitations in capacity
  • By leveraging AI, it is possible to significantly scale up the screening capacity via diabetologists and even GPs
  • With earlier detection of the disease, the treatment options and cost implications are both significantly improved
  • AI technology supporting early diagnosis of DR have satisfying results in both sensitivity and specificity and is ready for everyday clinical practice
