Our project aims to use advanced computer technology to study how images of the eye can help detect early signs of heart problems. By analyzing special pictures taken with a fundus camera, we hope to find subtle clues that could indicate issues with the heart. These clues might be things like tiny changes or patterns in the eye that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Our project will take some time, likely a few years, as we carefully analyze the data and develop new tools to help doctors identify these eye changes. If successful, our research could lead to better ways of spotting heart problems early, potentially saving lives by allowing doctors to intervene sooner. This could have a significant impact on public health by improving heart disease prevention and treatment strategies.
