What should I watch out for with AI in eye care?
Retinal images are health data and therefore special category personal data under the GDPR. Software that assesses images is a medical device: check the CE class under the MDR (usually IIa or IIb) and whether the algorithm has been validated for your camera or OCT device. Some tools are for 'research use only'. Choose a provider with a data processing agreement, ISO 27001 and ISO 13485, and clear data location (EU hosting or on-premise). Ask whether your images are used to train models. Opticians without a medical background may screen and refer, but not make a diagnosis. Explain in your client communication what an AI result does and does not mean. Under the EU AI Act, medical AI counts as high risk.
