Imagine, program guided self assessment fundus imaging on a phone that can send
a report to the physician. Evaluation of the posterior pole for this
application, diabetic changes, etc...AI is very real and being looked at
heavily by most major companies.

Machine learning (a computer's progressive improvement at a task based on
training rather than explicit programming) is real, has been around since the
'50s, and is more and more being applied to medicine.
The most important part of this general public article are the second two
paragraphs:
The algorithms didn’t outperform existing medical approaches such as blood
tests, according to a study of the finding published in the journal Nature
Biomedical Engineering. The work needs to be validated and repeated on more
people before it gains broader acceptance, several outside physicians said.
But the new approach could build on doctors’ current abilities by providing
a tool that people could one day use to quickly and easily screen themselves
for health risks that can contribute to heart disease, the leading cause of
death worldwide.

I am unclear as to how these poor Topcon images would help screen for stroke
Unless they are referring to H. Plaque, Occlusions, etc and the usual signs
that would send a patient for a Carotid angiogram.

Interesting article at link below. Article says images are scans, but the
notch says otherwise.

Anyone out there participating is such studies?
Richard Press posted about a similar project re diabetes last march.
ALSO — Is Google a sustaining member of OPS?
