AI in Eye Care Professional Co-Editors Scot Morris, OD, and Rehan Ahmed, MD, run the gamut of AI-related topics in this episode of Realk Talk. To start things off, the hosts discuss “always on” technology: how it will affect the workforce, how it relates to eye care, the pros and cons and what we can expect in the future.
From there, Dr. Morris does a deep dive into deep learning. He explains that the concept mimics the structure and function of the human brain, serving as an artificial neural network that recognizes patterns and makes decisions — much like the human thought process, but on a much larger, faster scale.
The episode wraps up with a discussion of the patient experience, and how AI will impact the patient experience in the next few years as well as down the road. In this segment, the hosts seek to answer the question: What does the eye care patient of the future look like?
