Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Oculomics is the science of analyzing ocular data to identify, diagnose, and manage systemic disease. This article focuses on prescreening, its use with retinal images analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI), to identify ocular or systemic disease or potential disease in asymptomatic individuals. The implementation of prescreening in a coordinated care system, defined as Healthcare From the Eye prescreening, has the potential to improve access, affordability, equity, quality, and safety of health care on a global level. Stakeholders include physicians, payers, policymakers, regulators and representatives from industry, government, and data privacy sectors.
