Implementation of A New, Mobile Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Model Incorporating Artificial Intelligence in Remote Western Australia
Our new model for AI-assisted DR screening was culturally safe, acceptable to patients and effective, demonstrating an 11-fold increase in screening rates compared to 2023 Pilbara data. In remote Australian settings, AI-assisted DR screening may overcome historical barriers to service provision and improve minimisation of preventable blindness.
