Novel automated non-invasive detection of ocular surface squamous neoplasia using artificial intelligence

Table 2 Various advantages of integrated artificial intelligence in automated screening

Advantages of automated screening by AI for OSSN
It enables the screening process to be more efficient and objective, reducing the reliance on subjective human interpretation
AI algorithms can analyze large volumes of images rapidly and consistently, aiding in the early identification of suspicious lesions that may otherwise be overlooked
Automated screening can enhance access to care, particularly in areas where specialized ophthalmic expertise may be limited, through telemedicine and remote monitoring
By providing a preliminary assessment of OSSN lesions, AI technology can support primary care providers and community healthcare workers in triaging patients and referring those in need of further evaluation to specialized centers
AI-driven automated screening holds promise in improving the early detection and management of OSSN, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes
