SINGAPORE - In order to screen for early signs of diabetic eye conditions more efficiently, Diabetes Singapore will deploy an artificial intelligence (AI) system which can analyse and produce results for an eye scan within minutes, instead of about an hour.

The society has set a target to screen 11,000 patients this year for diabetes-related eye conditions, up from 8,000 screenings conducted last year, it said on Wednesday (Jan 27) in response to queries from The Straits Times.
