This Project At LMU Looks At How Using AI 2nd Opinion Report to Analyze Retinal Eye Scans Impact Doctors' Decisions About Treatment for Patients with a Specific Eye Disease (nAMD)
This is a research plan from the University of Munich (LMU) that aims to study how the use of AI reports can impact ophthalmologists' decisions regarding treatment for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). This disease is a leading cause of vision loss, and while anti-VEGF treatments are effective, they require careful monitoring and retreatment decisions to maximize benefits. The study will involve up to 1000 ophthalmologists with varying levels of expertise. These ophthalmologists will review SD-OCT scans and make treatment decisions before and after reviewing AI-generated reports. The primary objective is to compare these decisions and see how the AI reports influence them. Secondary objectives include assessing the accuracy and safety of the AI reports.
