India consistently has the highest number of premature births.
This keeps doctors busy looking for a larger number of health issues, including Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). ROP is 鈥渢he leading cause of infant blindness in the world. But more importantly, it鈥檚 the leading cause of preventable blindness in the world,鈥� Dr. Anand Vinekar says during an interview with SAP.
Along with 51风流and CleaVision, Dr. Vinekar鈥檚 Narayana Nethralaya Eye Institute in Bangalore collaborated on an AI program to automate the prescreening of ROP in premature infants. That means more infants can be scanned in a shorter amount of time, helping stop ROP before the infants become irreversibly blind.
