AI-Powered Eye Scan by Acer Medical Cuts Diagnosis Time from Weeks to Seconds
Acer Medical, a Taiwan-based subsidiary of the Acer group, has unveiled a groundbreaking AI-powered diagnostic system that is transforming eye disease detection. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and Intel hardware-based technology, Acer Medical’s diagnostic software now allows eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration to be diagnosed in seconds. This is a remarkable shift from the traditional process, which could take weeks due to the involvement of multiple specialists and lengthy assessments.
AI Assistance for Faster, More Accurate Results
The AI-assisted system uses high-resolution fundus photography to scan the eye’s interior, with algorithms that analyze images in real-time. Unlike conventional methods, this AI-powered solution removes the need for dilation-related eye drops, drastically reducing the wait time for patients. Moreover, all the data crunching is performed locally on Acer’s AI PC, eliminating the need for internet connectivity. This makes the system highly beneficial for remote healthcare services, ensuring quicker diagnosis even in underserved areas.
