A retinal deep phenotyping ^TM platform to predict the cerebral amyloid PET status in older adults

As the only optically accessible part of the central nervous system, the retina represents an intriguing opportunity for the detection of biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study evaluated the performance of the Retinal Deep PhenotypingTM platform, a digital biomarker platform comprising a hyperspectral retinal camera and image analysis algorithms, for the detection of likely positron‐emission tomography (PET) amyloid status (negative or positive) in older adults. A set of phenotypic features that correlates with the cerebral amyloid status as determined by amyloid PET scan were identified and used to train a classifying algorithm.
