Digi4Care Pilot 1: AI Fundus Camera for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in Primary Care
from ozdravme podcast · host ozdravme s.r.o.
Digi4Care Pilot 1: testing an AI fundus camera for diabetic retinopathy screening in primary care — plus telemedicine stations for cardiovascular and diabetes risk assessment. In this episode we explore why diabetic retinopathy — often called the "silent thief of sight" — stays undiagnosed in so many patients, how AI-assisted screening can move into GP offices and outpatient clinics, and what the first results and practical challenges (from patient pathways to connectivity) reveal about scaling these tools across Europe. GUESTS Dr Borbála Bessenyey — Medical Doctor & Pilot Coordinator in Digi4Care, Semmelweis University, Hungary Mira Ganova — CEO, Digital Health and Innovation Cluster Bulgaria HOST Šimon Jeseňák ABOUT DIGI4CARE Digi4Care is a transnational project bringing digital health solutions into primary care across Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia. The goal is to validate and introduce innovative screening and telemedicine tools that support earlier detection, better patient pathways and more effective, informed decision-making in everyday healthcare.
