Forschungsgruppe für KI-basierte Bildanalyse der Netzhaut

This Research Group has an overarching goal to identify populations of similar retinal patients and build clinical decision support tools to improve treatment of an individual patient. We focus on developing, improving and applying AI methods to analyze OCT images of retina and we investigate machine learning methods that can provide individual prognosis of disease advance. The Group is composed of four world-class and pioneering researchers from the Medical University of Vienna (Ursula Schmidt-Erfurth and Hrvoje Bogunović) with expertise in ophthalmology and medical imaging, and the Johannes Kepler University (Sepp Hochreiter and Günter Klambauer) with expertise in AI. They are joining their complimentary expertise with the goal of introducing AI-based personalized medicine into the management of the leading eye diseases of modern times.
