iPredict: automated AI for early detection and prediction of late age-related macular degeneration
Official title: Pivotal Trial of an Automated AI-based System for Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Late Age-related Macular Degeneration in Ophthalmology and Primary Care Settings
Run by iHealthScreen Inc · NCT07084883 · Data updated 2026-11-12
iPredict will be tried to detect early signs and predict the risk of late AMD using non-dilated eye photos taken in primary care or general ophthalmology offices for adults without a prior AMD diagnosis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults without a prior diagnosis of AMD who can provide informed consent and have non-dilated retinal photographs taken at a participating primary care or general ophthalmology office.
✕Probably not a fit
People already diagnosed with AMD, currently under treatment for retinal disease, or unable to give informed consent are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This observational pivotal trial tests iPredict, an automated AI system that analyzes non-dilated fundus photos taken in primary care and general ophthalmology settings. Images will be captured using an FDA-approved DRSPlus fundus camera and uploaded securely to the cloud for automated analysis. The AI outputs will be validated prospectively against optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans and color fundus images to determine diagnostic and predictive accuracy for late AMD. Individuals already diagnosed with AMD or receiving retinal treatment are excluded, and prior comparisons versus ophthalmologist reads have shown sufficient accuracy to justify this validation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, iPredict could enable earlier detection and risk prediction of late AMD during routine visits, allowing earlier monitoring and referral to eye specialists.
How similar studies have gone: Automated AI screening has shown success for other retinal diseases and iPredict has demonstrated adequate accuracy versus ophthalmologist reads, but prospective validation against OCT for predicting late AMD is relatively novel.
