Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study targets individuals undergoing health checkups. It aims to establish a system for predicting the risk of developing eye diseases and systemic diseases, as well as for early detection of potential onset, by introducing OCT examinations during health checkups and a remote fundus imaging interpretation system at an interpretation center. The study will verify prediction and detection methods and explore effective mechanisms.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

We have researched and developed AI-powered algorithms for disease screening and risk assessment using fundus imaging data. This study integrates these algorithms into a remote health screening system to validate a future-oriented screening platform in real-world settings. This platform facilitates the transmission of screening results and the optimization (tuning) of AI algorithms using screening data.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Evaluation of System Functionality and Accuracy
AI-predicted risks of atherosclerotic diseases and glaucoma from fundus and nailfold images, along with disease screening results, and their consistency with the presence of abnormal findings and Grade assessments during health examinations (cross-sectional evaluation)

Key secondary outcomes

Consistency between AI-predicted risks of atherosclerotic disease and glaucoma from fundus images and the actual incidence rates of these conditions within 10 years after image acquisition (longitudinal evaluation using historical data)
Percentage of image and other data meeting quality standards required for analysis
Evaluation of the correlation between disease risk and disease occurrence and the results of parameters calculated from background information (age, gender, medical history, etc.), health checkup results (blood tests, etc.), parameters calculated from fundus images and OCT examinations (vascular density, nerve thickness, etc.), ophthalmic findings (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, etc.), and parameters calculated from nail bed examination image evaluations
Evaluation of improvements in accuracy after updating fine-tuning training data and post-annotation
Functional verification of each system and assessment of system errors, malfunctions, and risk occurrence
Investigation of task processing times
Value Assessment of Future-Oriented Health Checkups: Concept, Platform, and System Evaluation
Confirmation of Implementation Structure: Identifying and Improving Issues in Structure, Workflow, and Operations
Task Processing Time Survey
