Revolutionizing Ophthalmology Clinical Trials Through Enhanced Accessibility and Advanced AI-driven Analysis
Session Introduction
This webinar on ophthalmology clinical trials explores strategies for improving patient access and precision analysis using artificial intelligence (AI). Attendees will learn about vendor-agnostic, multi-modality platforms, AI-enabled workflows, and best practices for eCOA implementation in various trial settings. Case studies will demonstrate AI’s transformative impact on dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and macular edema (ME) trials, enhancing traditional metrics and improving study workflows.
Register to learn about strategies integrating AI in ophthalmology clinical trials.
