Deep Learning for Detection of Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the fastest growing cause of blindness, with
nearly 415 million diabetic patients at risk worldwide. If caught early,
the disease can be treated; if not, it can lead to irreversible blindness.
Unfortunately, medical specialists capable of detecting the disease are not
available in many parts of the world where diabetes is prevalent. We
believe that Machine Learning can help doctors identify patients in need,
particularly among underserved populations.
