In this episode of Better Edge, a Northwestern Medicine Ophthalmology panel including Paul Bryar, MD, Rukhsana G. Mirza, MD, and moderator Angelo P. Tanna, MD, discusses practical applications of artificial intelligence in eye care. Topics include point‑of‑care diabetic retinopathy screening with immediate results, oculomics and multimodal imaging, and collaborations using AI to identify biomarkers such as retinal ischemic perivascular lesions (RIPLs). The panel also reviews early experience with large language model triage and MyChart responses, EMR‑based risk scoring that incorporates social drivers of health and workflow optimization.
