Support from Moorfields Eye Charity has catalysed research advances in artificial medical intelligence at Pearse Keane's lab across UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London. We were privileged to meet charity staff on their lab visit yesterday and share some of the work enabled by INSIGHT's infrastructure and data repository of 30 million+ eye images at Moorfields. Lab member Peter W. presented his project generating synthetic eye imaging data, highlighting the challenges, human oversight required, and potential for research in low-resource settings. Peter also spoke about the AI tool developed at the lab for predicting risk of eye damage in patients on auto-immune drugs. Hyunmin Kim shared a study investigating which imaging modality is more accurate for #oculomics prediction - Colour fundus photos or Optical Coherence Tomography, with implications for future research in the field. With thanks to the charity team for their interest and questions, and to the UCL team for hosting.
