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.

particularly among underserved populations.
