Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Point-of-Care Artificial Intelligence (NCT06721351)

Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Point-of-Care Artificial Intelligence -DRES-POCAI: AI - Clinical Intervention at San Ysidro Health

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Centro De Salud La Comunidad De San Ysidro Inc DBA: San Ysidro Health

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This research study is being conducted to improve eye care by using artificial intelligence (AI) to make diabetic eye screenings faster and more accessible. AI technology mimics human decision-making, enabling computers and systems to analyze medication information. Specifically for this screening, AI examines digital images of the eye and based on that information, may identify if a participant has diabetic retinopathy. It can assist doctors in making decisions about a participant's diagnosis, treatment or care plans to improve patient care. This is a collaboration between San Ysidro Health (SYHealth), University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), and Eyenuk. The Kaiser Permanente Augmented Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare Initiative (AIM-HI) awarded SYHealth funds to demonstrate the value of AI technologies in diverse, real-world settings.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (7 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (6 items).
