Background: To compare the performance of Medios (offline) and EyeArt (online) artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for detecting diabetic retinopathy (DR) on images captured using fundus-on-smartphone photography in a remote outreach field setting.
Methods: In June, 2019 in the Yucatan Peninsula, 248 patients, many of whom had chronic visual impairment, were screened for DR using two portable Remidio fundus-on-phone cameras, and 2130 images obtained were analyzed, retrospectively, by Medios and EyeArt. Screening performance metrics also were determined retrospectively using masked image analysis combined with clinical examination results as the reference standard.
Article Synopsis
- Activities in urban gardens can significantly boost biodiversity, but understanding what motivates or hinders householders is key to successful programs.
- In a study, 42 participants were provided with free species-enhancing activities and their engagement, knowledge, and socio-demographic factors were monitored over 6 months.
- Popular activities varied based on participants’ environmental engagement, with cost and aesthetics playing critical roles, while many expressed a need for better information on wildlife-friendly gardening.
