Telemedicine in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Age Related Macular Degeneration

In brief

This study seeks to evaluate a system for the automated early detection of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD is a condition in which there is breakdown of the macula of the eye, the part of the retina that is responsible for sharp, central vision. We will take pictures of subjects' eyes using an automated camera. These photographs will be securely transmitted and and then analyzed by a computer program which has been developed in other studies. The outcome of the computer program analysis will be compared with human analysis of these same pictures. If the computer analysis is has good enough accuracy, then this computer system could be used for wide-scale screening for AMD.
