Researchers have developed Co-Annotator, a system designed to assist clinicians in diagnosing age-related macular degeneration. The system integrates a vision transformer that aligns with expert gaze to highlight areas of interest and a vision-language model that pre-fills biomarker summaries from optical coherence tomography scans. A study involving ophthalmology residents demonstrated that both components are safe and beneficial individually, with the vision-language model significantly increasing the breadth of biomarker documentation. When used together, Co-Annotator led to a 40% increase in correct diagnoses per minute and a 67% reduction in comment editing time, without compromising diagnostic accuracy. AI
IMPACT This system demonstrates how AI can streamline clinical workflows and improve diagnostic efficiency in specialized medical fields.
