CTOnews.com, January 31, according to official account of Sun Yat-sen University, on January 30, Sun Yat-sen University's Sun Yat-sen Eye Center held a results conference and announced that Professor Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen Eye Center, had successfully developed the world's first smart phone screening system for visual impairment of infants and young children. Parents can use smartphones to detect 16 common causes of blindness for their children. The relevant results were published online on January 26 in the international academic journal Nature Medicine.

Professor Yu Minbin, deputy secretary of the party committee of Sun Yat-sen University and a famous ophthalmologist, said that infants from 0 to 4 years old are in a critical period of visual function development, so it is important to evaluate their visual function and find early visual function damage caused by eye diseases. However, it is difficult for infants of this age to express eye discomfort, and it is difficult to cooperate with traditional eye examination, their visual function damage is easy to be ignored or missed, and miss the best time for treatment.

In clinical practice, the R & D team found that some abnormal gaze behavior patterns of infants and young children were highly related to visual function damage. Accordingly, the R & D team prospectively collected gaze behavior from 3652 infants and young children for 8 years, relying on the deep learning artificial intelligence data analysis background deployed by the Tianhe No.2 Supercomputing Center. The collected high-throughput video data are analyzed in depth, and based on big data's deep mining of abnormal gaze behavior modes of infants with visual function damage caused by different eye diseases, an artificial intelligence model is constructed. The early detection of visual function damage caused by 16 kinds of common blindness diseases in infants and young children, such as congenital cataract, congenital ptosis and congenital glaucoma, was realized, and the average screening accuracy was more than 85%.

Early screening of visual impairment scenarios for infants and young children by using smart phones

Smart phones play animated videos and record infant gaze behavior. Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen Ophthalmology Center at Sun Yat-sen University and the leader of the study, said that the system attracts infants and young children to keep their gaze by playing a three-minute animated video on their mobile phone. it can realize the real-time capture of infants' gaze habits and behavior patterns. Then, relying on artificial intelligence technology, the system automatically analyzes the visual function damage and related eye diseases of infants and young children.

It is reported that the intelligent screening system performs stably in complex realistic screening scenes, and is suitable for hospitals, communities, homes and other scenes. It will help a variety of infants with visual function impairment related ophthalmopathy early screening, greatly reducing the difficulty and cost.

CTOnews.com learned that at present, the public can search for "Ai Baojingling" in WeChat Mini Programs to try out this screening system. In the next step, Mini Program "Guangdong Jingjing" also plans to introduce the screening system. In addition, the R & D team is docking with public platforms such as Yueshengshi, hoping to provide feasible solutions for large-scale screening of visual impairment and related eye diseases in infants and young children.
