Ophthalmic Telemedicine - Eye Tea - M. Chiang, T. Leng, E. Korot

Join our team in conversation with Drs. Michael F. Chiang, Theodore Leng, and Edward Korot about ophthalmic telemedicine, careers in the field, and its future directions. Dr. Michael F. Chiang is the director of the National Eye Institute at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, and his clinical practice focuses on pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. He is a board-certified expert in clinical informatics. His research develops and applies biomedical informatics methods to clinical ophthalmology in areas such as retinopathy of prematurity, telehealth, artificial intelligence, clinical information systems, genotype-phenotype correlations, and data analytics. His group has published more than 200 peer review papers and has developed an assistive artificial intelligence system for ROP that received breakthrough status from the US FDA. He has served as a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology Board of Trustees, Chair of the AAO Iris Registry Data Analytics Committee, Chair of the AAO Task Force on Artificial Intelligence, Chair of a Medical Information Technology Committee, and on several other national and local committees. He also serves on the editorial board of several internationally acclaimed scientific journals, including the Journal of American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, Ophthalmology, and Ophthalmology Retina.  Dr. Theodore Leng is an ophthalmologist and talented surgeon based out of Stanford. He's considered one of the top worldwide innovators in the field of medical and surgical retina. And he also serves as the Director of Clinical and Translational Research and the Director of Ophthalmic Diagnostics at Stanford. He did a lot of his training at Stanford, including his medical degree before going to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute for residency, he then returned to Stanford for his fellowship in vitreoretinal disease and surgery, where he remains on faculty to this day. He's an incredibly talented scientist on top of all of his clinical work and he's published over 200 peer-reviewed publications. His research has contributed to the field of automated AI for detecting blinding retinal disease and more. Dr. Edward Korot has helped develop head-mounted surgical displays to adapt wearable retinal projection displays for use in ophthalmic microsurgery. As a Ted med frontline scholar in medical school, Dr. Korot worked on algorithmic image analysis and is keen on developing point of care technologies to improve the lives of patients. He's currently a vitreoretinal fellow at Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University and has completed a clinical research fellowship at UCL Moorfields Eye Hospital with a grant for applied automated machine learning. He's also worked with Google health, with a focus on global validation of atomic deep learning algorithms for clinical use. He has a deep interest in medical, AI safety, quantifying model uncertainty, AI-driven pharmaceutical trial recruitment, and user interface research. And he's now leading light in the application of algorithms and AI to this tech science and disease and epidemic images.
