Eyenuk, a Woodland Hills, California company, won the European CE mark for its EyeArt software that analyzes images of the retina taken using fundus cameras to help detect diabetic retinopathy (DR). The software requires nothing more than a well produced color retinal image and has shown a sensitivity of detecting DR often better than human professionals.
EyeArt is able to process entire batches of images, going through thousands in a matter of hours. This may allow entire populations to be screened for DR, hopefully saving many eyes and improving lives.
More about the technology according to Eyenuk:
EyeArt’s image analysis algorithms represent cutting-edge of research in image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Technological innovations like morphology-inspired filter bank descriptors can automatically analyze fundus images to detect and localize lesions resulting from diabetic retinopathy.
