Automated Diabetic Screening via Anterior Segment Ocular Imaging: A Deep Learning and Explainable AI Approach

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.14727v1 Announce Type: new Diabetic retinopathy screening traditionally relies on fundus photography, requiring specialized equipment and expertise often unavailable in primary care and resource limited settings. We developed and validated a deep learning (DL) system for automated diabetic classification using anterior segment ocular imaging a readily accessible alternative utilizing standard photography equipment. The system leverages visible biomarkers in the iris, sclera, and conjunctiva that correlate with systemic diabetic status.
