These findings highlight the importance of prospective, real-life evaluation of medical AI in clinical settings. ⚠️ Very few licensed models pass this bar https://t.co/aoU7kcOjNZ 📌 Food for thought for regulators and healthcare policy makers @NHSEngland @Denniston_Ophth

The AI model did not perform as well in real-world compared to its reported retrospective evaluation; it recommended more ⬆️ unnecessary referrals than clinicians. 🚨 Caution: retrospective performance ≠ clinical readiness.

📉 Teleophthalmology reduced unnecessary urgent referrals - mostly for suspicion of neovascular #AMD - by 59%. ➡️ Easing pressure on hospital eye services & improving access for patients with actual need for timely care. #Telehealth @MacularSociety

In the teleophthalmology arm, #OCT scans and clinical data were reviewed remotely by 🏥 ophthalmology specialists via a secure digital platform. We compared this to standard referral practice (optometry ✉️ without imaging).
