Effectiveness of artificial intelligence-based diabetic retinopathy screening in primary care and endocrinology settings in Australia: a pragmatic trial
The AI-assisted DR screening model was accurate and well received by patients and staff in Australian primary care and endocrinology clinics. This opportunistic screening model holds promise for enhancing early DR detection in non-eyecare settings, potentially preventing vision loss due to DR on a considerable scale.
