Official title: Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness Evaluations of AI-Assisted Diagnostic Software (VeriSee) for Ophthalmic Disease Screening
Run by National Taiwan University Hospital · NCT06843499 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether the VeriSee AI software can help doctors screen for age-related macular degeneration in adults 50+ and diabetic retinopathy in diabetic adults 20+.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 50 and older for AMD screening and diabetic patients aged 20 and older for DR screening who can provide informed consent and attend non-retinal ophthalmology clinic visits.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are already managed by retinal specialists, cannot undergo fundus photography, are under the age limits, or cannot provide informed consent are unlikely to benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The trial will use the VeriSee AI system to analyze color fundus photographs and produce rapid detection results for ophthalmologists to use as diagnostic support. Participants will have fundus images taken in non-retinal ophthalmology clinics and their clinical history recorded for comparison with standard clinical diagnosis. The study will compare the AI-assisted readings to ophthalmologist decisions and measure clinical and cost-effectiveness outcomes. The goal is to determine whether integrating VeriSee improves screening efficiency, diagnostic consistency, and access to care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, VeriSee could speed up eye disease screening, improve early detection, and expand access to timely care.
How similar studies have gone: Other AI-based fundus image systems have shown promising diagnostic performance for diabetic retinopathy and AMD in multiple validation studies, though real-world clinical-effectiveness data remain limited.
