Meet Edward Kang, the 17-year-old New Jersey student who used retinal images to train AI for autism and ADHD screening; his project won a $175,000 science prize
For his project, Kang trained AI models to detect patterns associated with neurodevelopmental disorders from a large public dataset of retinal images. Instead of one approach, he used several techniques to improve the performance of the models. What if a simple picture of the eye could help doctors diagnose neurodevelopmental conditions earlier?
