Research shows an artificial intelligence technology can accurately and independently detect 100% of severe cases of a blindness-causing condition that affects prematurely born babies. The technology has the potential to expand worldwide screening — and ultimately sight-saving treatment — for retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP. About 2 million babies annually are born early enough to develop ROP, although in most cases the disease is mild and resolves without treatment. More cases go untreated in low- and middle-income countries.
