B An App That Can Catch Early Signs Of Eye Disease In A Flash It's hard for doctors to do a thorough eye exam on babies. They tend to wiggle around — the babies, that is, not the doctors. But a new smartphone app takes advantage of parents' fondness for snapping pictures of their children to look for signs that a child might be developing a serious eye disease. The app is the culmination of one father's five-year quest to find a way to catch the earliest signs of eye disease, and prevent devastating loss of vision. Five years ago, NPR reported the story of Bryan Shaw's son Noah» and how he lost an eye to cancer. Doctors diagnosed Noah Shaw's retinoblastoma when he was 4 months old. To make the diagnosis, the doctors shined a light into Noah's eye and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball, an indication that there were tumors there. Noah's father Bryan is a scientist. He decided to create software that could scan photos for signs of this reflection. Along with colleagues at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, Shaw created an app called CRADLE. It uses artificial intelligence to find white eye, which can be a sign of several serious eye diseases such as retinoblastoma, pediatric cataracts, and Coats' disease. To test the app, they analyzed more than 50*000 pictures taken of 40 children. Half had no eye disease and half had been diagnosed with eye cancer or some other eye diseases. The app scanned the picture and found the ones that might have signs of leukocoria pupil, which appeared paler than a normal black one. The app isn't perfect. Still, Bryan is upbeat about the promise of the app. "This is exciting new technology* and this is how I think we're going to go for screening for a number of diseases in the future,” he says. 58.
