Funded Activity Summary

Smart Algorithms Linking Medical Image Data and Measures of Dysfunction. Losing sight has a profound affect on a person's quality of life. Advances in devices that monitor vision have not been matched by advances in computer software that analyses data from those devices. This project will combine computer science, visual neuroscience and clinical expertise to devise algorithms and build software that will vastly improve clinician's abilities to diagnose and monitor vision loss. In turn, this will dramatically improve the chances of those with diseases such as glaucoma to preserve their sight into old age. Furthermore, outcomes from this project will inform the development bionic eye technologies, which will assist those with eye diseases such as retinis pigmantosa and age-related macular degeneration to see.
