AI programme can spot diseases as well as world's top consultants Eye diseases that cause blindness in millions can now be rapidly detected by computer thanks to a 'revolutionary' breakthrough.
The new artificial intelligence system is just as good at detecting eye diseases as the very best consultants - with a 94 per cent accuracy.
The technique now promises to slash the time needed to be seen by a consultant from weeks to days.
Early results from tests of the scanning technology are so promising researchers believe it could be rolled out across 30 UK hospitals in less than three years.
The research is a collaboration between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, UK-based Google DeepMind, UCL and Southampton University. The Daily Mail
