Earlier this summer, we brought together a group of experts for a focused workshop on evidence for ARIAS (Automated Retinal Image Analysis Software) in the English NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP).

Co-hosted by the ARIAS Research Group, the NIHR Incubator for AI and Digital Healthcare

  • Current evidence on human grader QA standards
  • Results from a recent head-to-head evaluation of multiple ARIAS tools
  • Key requirements to support safe, evidence-informed implementation in the NHS

Our goal was to share insights on performance, safety, and regulatory needs, and to collaboratively shape early recommendations for implementation pathways.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a constructive and impactful discussion, we’re excited about the next steps!
