Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Proportion of participants who get screened with a diabetic eye exam
The proportion of participants who get screened with a diabetic eye exam will be assessed for the AI group and the standard of care group referral to an eye care provider (ECP).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Follow-up rates with an eye care provider
The proportion that follow-up with an eye care provider (ECP), for participants in the standard of care group referred to ECP, and for participants in the AI group with an abnormal exam result that are then referred to the ECP for a dilated eye exam.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if providing in clinic point-of-care autonomous AI diabetic retinopathy exams improves screening rates compared to standard of care referral to an eye care provider, in a randomized control trial.
Detailed Description
This study will recruit 164 individuals ages 8-21 with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomized to usual care (referral to an eye care provider for a dilated eye exam) or the intervention arm and undergo a point-of-care diabetic eye exam using autonomous AI software on a non-mydriatic fundus camera. Participants in the intervention group will receive the diabetic eye exam results immediately from the autonomous AI system, and if abnormal will be referred to an eye care provider for a dilated eye exam. Participants in the standard of care group will have 6 months to complete the diabetic eye exam.
