Leveraging AI to Enhance Early Detection and Management of Diabetic Retinopathy

Recent findings from a study published in the JAMA Ophthalmology have shed light on the underutilized potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy (DR), despite its proven effectiveness.
