Summary
A new smartphone-based AI application called Capture-Tumor can detect cancers on the surface of the eye with near-specialist accuracy. The app analyzes user-taken photos of the eye using a deep learning model trained on over a decade of clinical images. Researchers believe the system could reduce diagnostic delays by providing a faster, simpler screening-to-referral pathway, and it has shown ability to identify previously undiagnosed cases.
