How AI Empowers Community Based Eye Screening in Low Resource Areas (Armenian Eye Care Project – Roger Ohanesian MD, Nune Yeghiazaryan, MA, MPA, Ph.D.)

Diabetes is a national public health threat in Armenia, and a lack of resources, public awareness, and specialists has been a barrier to effective diabetic eye screening programs.

TheĀ Armenian EyeCare Project, in conjunction with the Armenian Ministry of Health and theĀ World Diabetes Foundation, began a nationwide program to improve geographic and financial access to diabetes-related eye care, increase the capacity of medical professionals, and enhance diabetes-related advocacy.

In this webinar, learn about how the EyeArt system for automated diabetic retinopathy detection enabled the Armenian EyeCare Projectā€™s screening program to conduct automated eye exams in the field (including imaging and diagnosis) without the need for ophthalmologists.
