Guidelines on clinical research evaluation of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology (2023)

With the upsurge of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in medical field, its application ophthalmology has become a cutting-edge research field. Notably, machine learning techniques have shown remarkable achievements diagnosing, intervening, and predicting ophthalmic diseases. To meet requirements clinical fit actual progress diagnosis treatment AI, Ophthalmic Imaging Intelligent Medicine Branch Committee Chinese Education Association organized experts to integrate recent evaluation reports AI at home abroad formed guideline on after several rounds discussion modification. The main content includes background method developing this guideline, an introduction international guidelines methods models. This introduces general research, models, commonly-used indices formulae for model detail, amply elaborates trials. aims provide guidance norms researchers promote development regularization standardization, further improve overall level evaluations.
