AI tools for detecting disease in retinal images already exist, but the new tool, RETFound, was created through self-supervised learning.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  1. A person's retinas can reveal their health.
  2. The approach is akin to that used for training large language models like ChatGPT.
  3. But RetFound can examine thousands of retinal images and determine for itself whether each image is normal or abnormal.
