DETERMINING A CLINICAL OUTCOME FOR A SUBJECT SUFFERING FROM A MACULAR DEGENERATIVE DISEASE

摘要

A computer-implemented method of determining a clinical outcome for a subject suffering from a macular degenerative disease comprises: obtaining patient data relating to the subject and a plurality of macular images of the subject, the plurality of macular images comprising a plurality of images of at least a macular region in the subject's eye captured over a time period; inputting the obtained patient data and plurality of macular images to a machine learning algorithm, wherein the machine learning algorithm is trained to determine a clinical outcome for the subject in dependence on a progression of the macular degenerative disease over said time period; and outputting the determined clinical outcome for the subject. Apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
