FORECASTING CATARACT SURGERY EFFECTIVENESS

摘要

Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for forecasting cataract surgery effectiveness. Medical practitioners can use a predictive model to automatically forecast cataract surgery effectiveness for patients, including predicting both refractive outcomes (cylinder and sphere) and visual acuity outcomes (UCVA and BCVA), recommending a cataract surgery type, and recommending an IOL type and power. The predictive model can be offered to medical practitioners as a Web API, as an application on the web, as a SaaS offering, as an application on mobiles or medical devices, or any number of other platforms. Patients can be ranked based on predicted cataract surgery outcomes. The rankings can be used to better allocate limited medical resources to patients deriving more benefit.
