AI-BRIDGE for Preventing Vision Loss from Diabetes

This study is looking at a new way to screen for diabetic eye disease using artificial intelligence (AI-BRIDGE). This program allows your primary care doctor to check your eyes for vision problems caused by diabetes right in their office. The goal is to see if this AI-based screening helps more people get the eye care they need, especially across different racial and ethnic groups. You might be able to join if you have type 1 or 2 diabetes, haven't had an eye exam in the last year, don't have known diabetic eye disease, and have Medicaid as your primary insurance. The study will compare how many people follow up with recommended eye care within 6 months using AI-BRIDGE versus usual care.

Study design
This study is an interventional trial involving 4000 participants. It uses a stepped-wedge cluster randomized design, meaning clinics will gradually switch from usual care to the AI-BRIDGE program.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to 6 months to see if they follow up with recommended eye care.
