Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this multi-center study is to evaluate the extent to which AI-assisted fundus image interpretation improves the diagnostic performance of ophthalmologists. Rather than assessing the standalone algorithm performance, this study aims to determine the clinical value of using AI as a decision-support tool within actual clinical workflows.

At each participating institution, five ophthalmologists within three years of board certification and five ophthalmology residents will participate as readers. All readers will interpret fundus images both with and without the AI-based assistance software. The study will quantitatively compare diagnostic accuracy and reading time across the two conditions for four posterior segment diseases: diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and glaucoma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AI-Assisted Reading

Readers interpret the fundus images with AI-generated outputs available.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VUNO Med-Fundus AI

Intervention Type DEVICE

The intervention consists of an AI-based fundus image interpretation software that provides automated outputs for 12 retinal and optic nerve findings (e.g., hemorrhage, exudates, drusen, optic disc change). The system does not generate a direct disease diagnosis. Instead, the AI displays the presence or absence of 12 predefined findings along with their lesion locations. Readers may use this finding-level information as decision-support when determining the presence of the four target diseases (diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and glaucoma).

Unassisted Reading

Readers interpret fundus images without access to the AI system.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
