A team at Mexico’s Medical and Surgical Center for Retina, a small firm of about a dozen people, has*created a Smartphone software that can help general medical practitioners spot eye conditions that currently require a specialist to diag**se. The app is **t intended to replace ophthalmologists, but was designed instead to help direct Patients to receive a professional screening.
The software was created in collaboration with the Monterrey Institute of Tech**logy and Higher Education (ITESM) and is able to detect*diabetic macular edema and a few other conditions. The researchers hope that besides assisting in-clinic physicians with diag**ses and referrals, the app can also serve people living in remote areas that **rmally don’t have easy access to ophthalmologists.
