Validation of AI-based software for objectification of conjunctival provocation test.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Provocation tests are widely used in allergology to objectively reveal patients' sensitivity to specific allergens. The objective quantification of an allergic reaction is a crucial characteristic of these tests. Because of the absence of objective quantitative measurements, the conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is a less frequently used method despite its sensitivity and simplicity.

Objective

We developed a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based method, called AllergoEye, for quantitative evaluation of conjunctival allergic reactions and validated it in a clinical study.

Methods

AllergoEye was implemented as a 2-component system. The first component is based on an Android smartphone camera for screening and imaging the patient's eye, and the second is pe
