Professor Ming He - How the AI Works

Research & Development

Our AI models have been years in development with a dedicated team. The AI has been trained using 200,000+ retinal images, labelled by a panel of subspecialist ophthalmologists. Our papers on the AI models have been published and peer reviewed.

AI on AMD

This work describes the development of a deep learning algorithm (DLA) for the detection of neovascular AMD (nAMD) based on a large specialist annotated dataset of 56,113 images. Amongst an independent, local validation dataset of 5554 images (including 18.4% nAMD cases) derived from a range of providers and camera models, our DLA achieved robust performance for nAMD (AUC = 0.995).

AI on Glaucoma

This is one of the first studies to build a deep learning system for the classification of Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy on colour fundus photographs and performs large scale evaluation for algorithm efficacy on multi-cohorts.

AI on Diabetic Retinopathy

This study provides a comprehensive view of the development and validation of AI-based deep learning algorithms for the detection of referable diabetic retinopathy (DR). This AI-based deep learning model shows robust performance in the detection of vision-threatening referable DR (severe DR or worse, DME, or both) in retinal images from a multiethnic sample.

NHMRC Partnership Grant

An approved grant (1 million, 2019-2022) working with academic partner the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA). Eyetelligence is an industrial partner to provide technology and products to support the project.
