An Economic Analysis for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy in Trinidad and Tobago.

This is a systematic review of 25 publications on the topics of the prevalence and cost of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Trinidad and Tobago, the cost of traditional methods of screening for DR, and the use and cost of artificial intelligence (AI) in screening for DR. Analysis of these publications was used to identify and make estimates for how resources allocated to ophthalmology in public health systems in Trinidad and Tobago can be more efficiently utilized by employing AI in diagnosing treatable DR. DR screening was found to be an effective method of detecting the disease.
