AI-based screening of cataract disease from smartphone images

Implementing Organization

Nex Fitzap Private Limited, West Bengal

Project Overview

Solution is to solve the problem of convenient eye screening by transforming the Slit-lamp examination with ophthalmologists to a simple AI-based screening solution only using the smartphone which can be done by anyone.

Benefits

In India, cataract disease is responsible for approx. 70 of blindness in India. For screening of cataracts in villages, there is a requirement for skilled ophthalmologists, and there are only 10,000+ ophthalmologists in our country. Hence there is a requirement for an AI-based digital solution, which would be easy to use by front line workers or the end-users themselves in their homes and which can give the first level of screening and awareness and an indication of whether surgery is needed or not.
