Google Not Losing Sight of AI

Google's DeepMind stares down eye disease with AI
DeepMind, a Google-owned company, is training computers to diagnose eye disease using machine learning. See, the company just announced a partnership with the UK’s National Health Service to analyze more than one million eye scans while crunching anonymous information related to patient diagnosis, age and treatment.
 
The Future
The vision is to teach computers to diagnose two common eye conditions – diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration – faster and more accurately. Believe it or not, doctors misdiagnose these diseases up to 20% of the time, leaving patients to unnecessarily suffer sight loss.
 
What About Us
If successful (and Google usually is), this research would enable many more of us to retain our vision through earlier disease prevention. Studies show that sight loss is on the rise, so the benefit here could be significant. But even if eye issues aren't in your future, the underlying technology could improve care for a myriad of other medical scenarios like acute kidney injury – a condition for which DeepMind is currently developing a detection app.
