Study: Artificial Intelligence for Early Detection of Pediatric Eye Diseases Using Mobile Photos
In a study published online in JAMA Network Open on August 6, an AI model demonstrates high performance in correctly recognizing myopia, strabismus, and ptosis using smartphone images.
In a cross-sectional study, Qin Shu, M.D., of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and associates created an AI model to recognize myopia, strabismus, and ptosis using cellphone photos. The model was constructed from 1,419 pictures, representing 476 patients. Of the pictures, 473 binocular and 946 monocular images were utilized to diagnose strabismus and myopia, respectively.
The model’s sensitivity for identifying ptosis, strabismus, and myopia was shown to be good (0.84, 0.73, and 0.85, respectively). The model demonstrated similar effectiveness in diagnosing eye diseases in children, both male and female, during sex subgroup analysis. There were variations in the ability to diagnose eye conditions among various age groups.
“The detection model using AI showed strong performance in accurately identifying myopia, strabismus, and ptosis using only smartphone images,” the authors write. “These results suggest that it can assist families in screening children for myopia, strabismus, and ptosis, facilitating early identification and reducing the risk of visual function loss and severe problems due to delayed screening.”
