Dr Dayyanah Sumodhee suggests #AI tools like Eye2Gene could help end the “postcode lottery” in inherited retinal disease by bringing faster specialist diagnosis to patients wherever they live.

90% of patients surveyed supported introducing AI.

Yesterday, @npontikos.bsky.social shared insights on Eye2Gene’s translation from an idea to pre-spin-out at @uclb.bsky.social.

BRC supported Eye2Gene harnesses #AI to accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of inherited retinal diseases to make care more #accessible.

A discussion at the UCL Business Ltd I/O Lab Coffee Club event. Dr. Nikolas Pontikos, wearing a white shirt and beige trousers, sits on the left, engaged in conversation with an older man in a brown vest and white shirt. A banner behind them reads, "As drivers of innovation, we use our expertise to commercialise the exceptional ideas of UCL researchers to benefit society and the economy." A screen in the background displays the I/O Lab Coffee Club logo. The setting is a modern, well-lit room with attendees listening in the foreground.
