IMPORTANCE: The ability to augment routine post-operative tube check appointments with at-home digital otoscopes and deep learning AI could improve health care access as well as reduce financial and time burden on families.
OBJECTIVE: Otitis Media (OM) - ear infection - can lead to hearing loss and associated developmental delay. There are several subgroups of OM which can be difficult to diagnose accurately, even for experienced clinicians. AI and machine learning algo...
PURPOSE: Tympanostomy tube (TT) placement is the most frequently performed ambulatory surgery in children under 15. After the procedure it is recommended that patients follow up regularly for "tube checks" until TT extrusion. Such visits incur direct...

Prior work has demonstrated improved accuracy in otitis media diagnosis based on otoscopy using artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches compared to clinician evaluation. However, this difference in accuracy has not been shown in a setting resem...
To evaluate the generalizability of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that use deep learning methods to identify middle ear disease from otoscopic images, between internal to external performance. 1842 otoscopic images were collected from three...
OBJECTIVES: Diseases of the middle ear can interfere with normal sound transmission, which results in conductive hearing loss. Since video pneumatic otoscopy (VPO) findings reveal not only the presence of middle ear effusions but also dynamic movemen...

AI relates broadly to the science of developing computer systems to imitate human intelligence, thus allowing for the automation of tasks that would otherwise necessitate human cognition. Such technology has increasingly demonstrated capacity to outp...
Otitis media, a common disease marked by the presence of fluid within the middle ear space, imparts a significant global health and economic burden. Identifying an effusion through the tympanic membrane is critical to diagnostic success but remains c...
OBJECTIVES: Misdiagnosis of acute and chronic otitis media in children can result in significant consequences from either undertreatment or overtreatment. Our objective was to develop and train an artificial intelligence algorithm to accurately predi...
