Indian girl based in Dubai develops AI-based application for eye disease detection using a smartphone
A young girl from Kerala, residing in Dubai, developed an AI-based app to detect eye diseases using an iPhone. The girl received a lot of praise on social media for her achievement.
Lena Rafiq, a self-taught programmer, shared her exceptional achievement on LinkedIn. She claimed that the app she developed can be used to detect eye diseases like Arcus, Melanoma, Pterygium, and Cataract.
The young girl stated that she started working on the app named Ogler Eye Scan at the age of ten. The prodigy spent six long months understanding various topics including computer vision, algorithms, machine learning models, eye conditions, and levels to create the app. Shortly after, she submitted the app to the app store.
Lena Rafiq’s post immediately caught the attention of internet users. Many praised the girl for her diligent efforts in creating a useful product for the community.
One person said, “It’s remarkable to hear about your achievement in creating a mobile AI app that can diagnose potential eye diseases and conditions.” Another claimed, “You deserve a big prize, Lena.”
A third person commented, “Great work! I was wondering if the app could be a medical device that should comply with medical device regulations?” Another said, “Awesome, this is amazing! You have achieved a lot by creating Ogler EyeScan, and I wish you good luck and some amazing ratings in the app store.”
After proper examination, trained models are used to diagnose potential eye diseases or conditions. Mrs. Rafiq said, “This app was developed locally using SwiftUI without any external libraries or packages.”
