¿What is MD EyeCare?
MD EyeCare is a smartphone-based app that uses the camera of an iPhone and Artificial Intelligence to detect different eye disorders in young children by revealing leukocoria or white reflex. It could lead to an early detection of several eye disorders and allow for timely treatments. Retinoblastoma (a type of eye cancer most common in very young children) caught at early stages can have a significant impact on the outcome of the disease since it can be treated promptly and with better odds of recovery and quality of life for the child.
