Revolutionizing cardiovascular risk assessment with AI.

A recent position paper in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology discusses the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology, particularly in cardiovascular risk assessment. Fundus photography can enable AI systems to detect elevated HbA1c levels, a marker for high blood sugar and increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The paper highlights the importance of developing trustworthy AI models for assessing cardiovascular risk factors and emphasizes the need for responsible use of AI in patient care. The collaboration between healthcare and engineering aims to advance personalized and preventative healthcare solutions through AI technology. [Extracted from the article]
