It is a great opportunity, particularly in view of the fact that, since 2017, ophthalmology has overtaken orthopaedics as the number one specialty for appointments, with a 37% increase in appointments over the last five years,\u201d said Pearse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are drowning in the number of patients we need to see, but new technology can address some of these problems by applying deep learning to these images. Technology is really advancing ophthalmology and optometry which are at the forefront of AI in healthcare. The promise of AI is how we bring world-class expertise out of specialised hospitals and potentially into the community and homes of patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between Moorfields and Google\/DeepMind is progressing, with a central focus on ensuring that clinical AI is robust, reliable, safe and fair. Alongside clinical validation, regulatory approvals are also required before such systems can be used for direct clinical care.<\/p>\n<p>Pearse also unveiled to delegates Oculomics, a recently coined term which describes the use of advanced retinal imaging, big data and AI to use the eye as a window to the rest of the body. With blood vessels and nerves exposed and visible, it is possible to determine non-ophthalmic pathologies. With oculomics it will be possible to reveal the sex, age, blood pressure and smoking status of the patient from retinal photographs. In the future, this may allow prediction of other systemic diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe retina is the only part of the brain that we can visualise, and is important in linking risk factors for stroke, heart attack and dementia, even schizophrenia and Parkinsons.\u00a0 There are huge implications to picking up systemic disease early,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>With the new Moorfields Hospital due to open in 2027, it is a time of huge significance for such a world centre of excellence and with the commercial benefits of this global project coming back to the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NHS has the largest amount of data in one resource in the world \u2013 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28397,"featured_media":21978,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2957],"tags":[2980],"class_list":["post-42360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vision-news","tag-moorfields"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
