New Partnership to Advance Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology

SAN FRANCISCO--July 28, 2021-- The American College of Radiology Data Science Institute (ACR DSI) and the American Academy of Ophthalmology today announced a collaboration that will expand ACR DSI's groundbreaking AI-LAB platform to include eye care. Leveraging use cases and data from the Academy, this collaboration will accelerate the use of machine learning in the ophthalmic industry to the benefit of patients across the globe. "We've now made it easier for the ophthalmology community to access real world examples for our own use cases. By working together with ACR, we are leveraging a platform developed for the radiology community to educate our own community about AI development and encouraging new AI to be developed that will benefit our specialty," said Tamara R. Fountain, MD, president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The Academy will provide the ophthalmology content and the ACR will provide the IT infrastructure to integrate the use cases and datasets into the landmark AI-LAB.
