Automated Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy Using Compact Deep Networks
Journal of Computational Vision and Imaging Systems
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide.One of its major complications is diabetic retinopathy (DR),which is the most common cause of legal blindness in the developedworld. Early screening and treatment of DR prevents visiondeterioration, however the recommendation of yearly screening isoften not being met. Mobile screening centres can increasing DRscreening, however they are time and resource intensive becausea clinician is required to process the images. This process can beimproved through computer aided diagnosis, such as by integratingautomated screening on smartphones. Here we explore the useof a SqueezeNet-based deep network trained on a fundus imagedataset composed of over 88,000 retinal images for the purpose ofcomputer aided screening for diabetic retinopathy. The results ofthis neural network validated the viability of conducting automatedmobile screening of diabetic retinopathy, such as on a smartphoneplatform.

It has been said that technology used in the lab does not directly transfer to what is done in healthcare. Research on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) has seen tremendous growth over the last couple of years but it is also true not much of that knowledge has been transferred into practice to benefit patients in need. One reason is that it’s a new frontier with untested technologies and one that is evolving too fast. Also, the Real Healthcare situation can be very complicated presenting itself with numerous challenges starting with strict regulations to variability in populations. A solution that is implementable needs to address all these concerns including ethics, standards, and any security concerns. It is also important to note that, the current state of AI is specialized to only narrow applications and may not scale when presented with problems of varied nature. A case in point is a patient having DR may be suffering from oth...
A deep learning-based smartphone app for real-time detection of five stages of diabetic retinopathy
Real-Time Image Processing and Deep Learning 2020
This paper presents the real-time implementation of deep neural networks on smartphone platforms to detect and classify diabetic retinopathy from eye fundus images. This implementation is an extension of a previously reported implementation by considering all the five stages of diabetic retinopathy. Two deep neural networks are first trained, one for detecting four stages and the other to further classify the last stage into two more stages, based on the EyePACS and APTOS datasets fundus images and by using transfer learning. Then, it is shown how these trained networks are turned into a smartphone app, both Android and iOS versions, to process images captured by smartphone cameras in real-time. The app is designed in such a way that fundus images can be captured and processed in real-time by smartphones together with lens attachments that are commercially available. The developed real-time smartphone app provides a costeffective and widely accessible approach for conducting first-pass diabetic retinopathy eye exams in remote clinics or areas with limited access to fundus cameras and ophthalmologists. Keywords: Real-time implementation of deep neural networks on smartphones, real-time smartphone app for detection and classification of diabetic retinopathy, first-pass eye exam by smartphone app.
