DESCRIPTION:*The Moorfields-DeepMind Collaboration*\n\nOphthalmology is am
 ong the most technology-driven of the all the medical specialties\, with t
 reatments utilizing high-spec medical lasers and advanced microsurgical te
 chniques\, and diagnostics involving ultra-high resolution imaging. Ophtha
 lmology is also at the forefront of many trailblazing research areas in he
 althcare\, such as stem cell therapy\, gene therapy\, and - most recently 
 - artificial intelligence. In July 2016\, Moorfields announced a formal co
 llaboration with the world’s leading artificial intelligence company\, D
 eepMind. This collaboration involves the sharing of >1\,000\,000 anonymise
 d retinal scans with DeepMind to allow for the automated diagnosis of dise
 ases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopat
 hy (DR). In my presentation\, I will describe the motivation - and urgent 
 need - to apply deep learning to ophthalmology\, the processes required to
  establish a research collaboration between the NHS and a company like Dee
 pMind\, the initial results of our research\, and finally\, why I believe 
 that ophthalmology could be the first branch of medicine to be fundamental
 ly reinvented through the application of artificial intelligence.\n\nAll w
