The google deepmind research collaboration with Moorfield eye hospital in London has resulted in some interesting initial results.
The AI can diagnose some 50+ serious eye diseases with an accuracy of expert doctor. It does at 92% accuracy to be precise as the article published by Deepmind.
Moorfield does some 5000 OCT scans in a week. Each scan is 3D diagram of the back of the eye and takes an expert doctor to analyse the scan results. Now the AI can in matter of minutes help the doctor

Doctors at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London took that work a step further. They trained an algorithm that could recommend the correct treatment approach for more than 50 eye diseases with 94 percent accuracy. “They compared that to eye specialists, and the machine didn’t miss one referral, but the eye doctors did,” Topol said. “The eye doctors were only in agreement about the referrals 65 percent of the time. So that’s the beginning of moving from narrow AI to triage.”
