AI predicts the risk of blindness and cardiovascular disease with fundus pictures...Introduction of Dr. Noon at Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital
Aug 04, 2025
Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Han Sung-woo) of Hanlim University introduced the artificial intelligence (AI)-based eye disease and cardiovascular disease risk analysis solution 'Dr. Non' into the hospital's comprehensive health examination program this month.
The AI automatically analyzes fundus photographs taken of the retina in both eyes of the patient. One shot can simultaneously evaluate the risk of major blindness diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, as well as the possibility of cardiovascular disease within the next five years. The analysis results can be confirmed within about 3 minutes.
The analysis results of 'Doctor's Eye' are classified into low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups, of which high-risk groups can prevent eye diseases and cardiovascular diseases through medication or regular examinations through specialist counseling.
Han Sung-woo, the head of the hospital, said "With the introduction of Dr. Noon, it is possible to comprehensively evaluate the risk of eye disease and cardiovascular disease in a shorter time than conventional tests.".
Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital is continuing digital innovation, including the introduction of this 'Doctor's Noon', ▲ the opening of Korea's first smart ward in 2023 ▲ the introduction of KakaoTalk chatbot 'CareChat' in June this year ▲ the development of AI-based bile duct cancer cell diagnosis technology.
