Evaluation of an OCT-AI-Based Telemedicine Platform for Retinal Disease Screening and Referral in a Primary Care Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the performance of a telemedicine platform integrated with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for retinal disease screening and referral.

Methods

We constructed an OCT-AI-based telemedicine platform and deployed it at four primary care stations located in Jing'an district, Shanghai, to detect retinal disease cases among aged groups and refer them to Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital (TENTH Hospital). Two ophthalmologists jointly graded the data set collected from this pilot application, and then the performance of this platform was analyzed from multiple aspects.

Results

This study included 1257 participants between July 2020 and September 2020, of whom 394 had retinal pathologies and 146 were even conside
