New AI-powered eye scan could detect Parkinson’s disease


New eye scans using artificial intelligence could detect Parkinson’s disease in people before they have symptoms, a study has suggested.

The technology could eventually be used as a pre-screening tool for people at risk of the condition.

A team from Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology used AI to analyse an AlzEye data set and pick up retinal markers.
