Multimodal Machine Learning for Auxiliary Diagnosis of Eye Diseases

Patients presenting with eye-related chief complaints initially complete a mobile phone application. This application utilizes patient medical history and relevant images (such as selfies and photos from eye examinations) to provide intelligent diagnosis. The diagnosis remains undisclosed to the patients. Subsequently, patients seek medical attention and undergo clinical examination by a skilled clinician. The clinical diagnosis is subsequently reviewed by a second experienced clinician. If the diagnoses align, it is considered the gold standard. In cases of discrepancy, the consensus reached by the two clinicians becomes the gold standard.
