Publication number: 20220319003Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to systems and methods for predicting a future visual acuity of a subject by using machine-learning models. An image of at least part of a retina of a subject can be processed by one or more first machine-learning models to detect a set of retina-related segments. Segment-specific metrics that characterize a retina-related segment of the set of retina-related segments can be generated. The segment-specific metrics can be processed by using a second machine-learning model to generate a result corresponding to a prediction corresponding to a future visual acuity of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Hoffman-La Roche Inc.Inventors: Thomas Felix ALBRECHT, Filippo ARCADU, Fethallah BENMANSOUR, Yun LI, Andreas MAUNZ, Jayashree SAHNI, Andreas THALHAMMER, Yan-Ping ZHANG SCHAERER
