Grant Activity:
RetinaAGE as a novel biomarker for ageing and cardiovascular risk
Purpose:
The back of the eye (retina) is a window to our blood vessels and nervous system and can be easily imaged. I have developed and pilot tested an AI algorithm that can accurately predict age using retinal photos. The gap between age predicted by the algorithm and chronological age, known as RetinaAGE, can predict premature death and cardiovascular events. This project will test RetinaAGE in individuals of different ethnicities and translate this AI into a system that will be tested in clinics.
