How AI Can be Used to Help People See - insideBIGDATA

In this special guest feature, Dr George Magrath, CEO of Lexitas, explains how AI is being harnessed in the development of eye care medicines. Lexitas is a 160-person company which partners with pharmaceutical firms to develop novel eye care drugs by running clinical trials. Dr Magrath is a trained ophthalmologist who, despite his busy day-to-day work leading Lexitas, still takes one day out every week to maintain his practice and treat patients with rare eye conditions. In fact, he is the only physician in his home state of South Carolina with fellowship training in treating cancers in and around the eye. The potential of AI to make people healthier is revolutionary.
