| Project goal/description | As a result of the project, it is planned to develop a research-based knowledge base in the Baltic States to test a new methodology based on artificial intelligence and personalized risk assessment in the care of diabetic patients. The project proposed to deviate from the uniform interval between screening visits for all diabetic patients, instead offering to stratify the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy in patients using extensive risk factors and analysis of fundus photographs using artificial intelligence. The project will assess the cost-effectiveness of the proposed system and present it to the leading health care institutions, as well as promote the training of young researchers, including the development of doctoral dissertations, create a cooperation platform for further scientific cooperation at the national and international level. The project activities will directly and through knowledge transfer promote the development and improvement of integrated care and e-health for diabetic patients in the Baltic States. The total cost of the project is EUR 1000000.00, of which EUR 849999.00 is co-financing from European Economic Area financial instrument and EUR 150000.00 is National co-finding.
