How can AI revolutionise eye health?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that develops over a long time. With regular eye examination data from those who have not yet reached the referral threshold, it’s hoped that researchers will be able to discover new, earlier warning signs. Using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyse the data, scientists aim to understand whether certain people may be at a higher risk of AMD manifesting or progressing. The data will help design new treatments to slow progression, or halt it altogether.
​
Will my data be secure?
The combined data will be anonymised and only vetted projects and scientists from multiple disciplines will be able to securely analyse this data, using a variety of techniques including AI.
How can your data help the NHS?
The Foresight project is due to be rolled out this summer and it is aiming to involve half a million participants from around the UK. It will be open to everyone, whether you have a macular condition or not. The more people we can get involved, the faster we can find a cure for macular disease (and in fact many others, too!) so please do tell your friends and family.
