A real-world AI-based infrastructure for screening and prediction of progression in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) providing accessible shared care
I-SCREEN Marks the International Day of Older Persons by Advancing Early AMD Detection
On the International Day of Older Persons, the I-SCREEN project highlights one of the most preventable causes of vision loss among people over 55, age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
I-SCREEN is developing an AI-powered, cost-effective screening platform that integrates seamlessly into community eye care. By connecting local opticians and optometrists with advanced OCT imaging and AI-driven analysis, the project aims to make early AMD detection more accessible and efficient.
This approach supports a shared-care model, where AI helps identify early signs of AMD during routine appointments, enabling earlier diagnosis, timely treatment, and helping older adults maintain their independence and quality of life.
