About this trial

The purpose of this study is to determine if use of a nonmydriatic fundus camera using autonomous artificial intelligence software at the point of care increases the proportion of underserved youth with diabetes screened for diabetic retinopathy, and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the autonomous AI system in detecting diabetic retinopathy from retinal images of youth with diabetes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes for ≥3 years, and age 11 or in puberty

Diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes

Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes,

8-21 years of age with known diabetic retinopathy (true positives).

Disqualifiers

Known diabetic eye exam in the last 12 months

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Point of Care Autonomous AI diabetic retinopathy exam

    Diagnostic test

    Participants will undergo point-of-care diabetic retinopathy screening using autonomous artificial intelligence software to interpret retinal images taken with a non-mydriatic fundus camera and providing an immediate result.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion screened for diabetic retinopathy

Equivalence in proportion screened for diabetic retinopathy of white and non-white youth with autonomous AI

Time frame
Day 1

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of agreement in interpretation of retinal images

Agreement in interpretation of retinal images between autonomous AI and consensus grading by ophthalmologists

Time frame
Day 1
2

Sensitivity of autonomous AI vs. prognostic standard

Sensitivity of autonomous AI in detecting diabetic retinopathy in youth compared to the prognostic standard. This will be analyzed in the ACCESS2 trial cohort alone, and also in the ACCESS2 trial cohort with the enriched cohort of youth with known diabetic retinopathy.

Day 1
3

Specificity of autonomous AI vs. prognostic standard

Specificity of autonomous AI in detecting diabetic retinopathy in youth compared to the prognostic standard. This will be analyzed in the ACCESS2 trial cohort alone, and also in the ACCESS2 trial cohort with the enriched cohort of youth with known diabetic retinopathy.
