Telemedicine makes access to patients easier and allows doctors to expand their work environment. It is expected that Artificial intelligence technology in the field of tele-ophthalmology will help to:

• Design a system for connecting images taken from the eye along with the results of automatic processing with the patient’s electronic file and designing an application for expert access to the patient’s file;
• Using a mobile phone for tele-ophthalmology application;
• Preparation of a large database of eye images from reliable medical centers (multi-center study);
• Development of data acquisition hardware in order to include designed software;
• Access to the technology of making complete eye imaging systems with tele-ophthalmology capabilities; …

the challenge:

How can artificial intelligence be used to develop tele-ophthalmology systems?
