The tech giant and its partners will work to make AI-enabled eyesight-saving care more readily available to clinical systems across both countries.

The Israeli startup said it's now focused on receiving clearance to use its AEYE-DS system with a portable camera.

It can diagnose diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema in 5-10 seconds.

A new study in The Lancet found that a deep-learning algorithm was able to detect vision-threatening retinopathy with 94.7% accuracy. 

It will implement digital initiatives such as telehealth and an AI-powered eye care service.

A new study suggests that a deep learning system would save on the roughly two minutes of human labor required to grade each case, although a semi-automated approach was found to drive the greatest savings for large programs.
