Dual branch fundus deep learning network as an enhanced multi classification system for ocular disease detection via hybrid feature fusion.

Ophthalmic diagnosis relies heavily on the interpretation of fundus images to identify a range of debilitating diseases. However, the presence of multiple, co-existing pathologies and the subtle visual cues associated with early-stage disease pose a significant challenge, necessitating the development of advanced diagnostic tools. We present DFD-Net (Dual-Branch Fundus Deep Learning Network), a de...

User Acceptance of an AI-Powered Medical History-Taking Training System Among Undergraduate Medical Students: Mixed Methods Study.

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered virtual patient systems provide medical students with repeatable practice environments for history-taking training. However, user acceptance of such systems and the experience dimensions associated with that acceptance lack systematic mixed-methods evidence. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to (1) examine the associations of system experience and learnin...
