Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology
We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI@UCLeye@Moorfields#OpenAccess@Nature

A massive thank you to @TerenceLeungUCL for his guidance, and to Christabel, Miranda, Judith, Anita, Felix, and all the participants and their guardians at @KBTH_GH, for their time and effort in making this possible.
I am so proud to see that this research has captured people’s attention - when I was on my train to my @medimaging_cdt interview, I was reading @EricTopol’s (excellent) book “Deep Medicine” and I’m happy to have been able to contribute something back to the field.

There’s a long way to go before this could ever become a clinical tool in the hands of patients, but it’s nice to have obtained this promising result suggesting computerised processes to replicate and improve upon human judgement of pallor are likely to be useful.
It was an amazing experience to work with @EelcoTromer and @BungoAkiyoshi on this! It makes a really interesting case study of how proteins can be repurposed in different evolutionary clades.
New manuscript alert: Repurposing of Synaptonemal Complex Proteins for Kinetochores in Kinetoplastida. https://t.co/PXoz5UD5Qx Fun collaboration with @thomas_wemyss@RossWaller3 and @BungoAkiyoshi It's only a short story - but let me give you the highlights. [1/n]
Since we first publicised this method, which was primarily the brainchild of @LowVisionNews, we've had over 1700 downloads of the paper assessment aids.
Pleased to have been part of developing a new proof-of-concept method for low-tech, at-home monitoring of vision. In this uncertain time, simple remote screening will hopefully prove useful, especially for opthalmologists with digitally excluded patients.

The future is here. Moorfields’ virtual eye casualty: “Video consultations showed greater than expected usefulness in the remote management of eye disease and supported a substantial reduction in the number of people visiting the hospital” https://t.co/Z80dnDB73O
Loosely inspired by W.F. Hermans’ An Untouched House, @MAnsley_ 's 1940’s house exploration game hopes to provide a series of evocative, surreal, and ‘contemplative’ environments in a narrative experience.
Are you interested in the future of eye care?
A UK health data research hub containing vast numbers of fundus and OCT images opens the door to improved screening and diagnoses of eye diseases.

How do we measure ability to detect of motion in the edge of our visual field, and which type of cell in the retina might detect that motion? These are some of the questions we were investigating in the first publication I’ve been part of https://t.co/pNfbJDksEh
