Can Deep Learning Detect Dementia?

Last month, Siegfried Wagner of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology gave a TEDx Talk.

About the Author
Phoebe Harkin

Associate Editor of The Ophthalmologist

I’ve always loved telling stories. So much so, I decided to make a job of it. I finished a Masters in Magazine Journalism and spent three years working as a creative copywriter before itchy feet sent me (back)packing. It took seven months and 13 countries, but I’m now happily settled on The Ophthalmologist, where I’m busy getting stuck into all things eyeballs.
