Deployment-ready Clinical Decision Support Software for diagnosing and managing eye conditions (Glaucoma) from routine Retinal Fundus Images

全球需要改善许多医疗保健服务的提供，特别是眼科，这是仅次于事故和急诊的第二繁忙的医院部门。COVID-19大流行以及老龄化人口中与年龄相关的疾病的增加，进一步加剧了专家就诊的漫长等待时间和预约积压。我们的软件产品解决了眼科护理的三个关键领域：(1)帮助保持相当比例的患者接受社区护理（即高街验光师）；(2)减少医院眼科服务的不必要转诊；(3)减少视力保护护理的等待时间，降低成本，使患者在最合适的时间、最合适的地点获得最合适的护理。最终，这将有助于提高患者的生活质量。
