Brief Summary

The greatest harm of diabetes is various acute and chronic complications, especially diabetic retinopathy(DR), leading to extremely high rates of disability and blindness. Early screening, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the keys to maintaining vision in patients with DR. However, compared with the high prevalence of diabetes in China, the DR screening ability is relatively inadequate. To change this situation, deep learning(DL), a form of artificial intelligence (AI), might be a potential effective method to solve this dilemma.
