An 11-year-old Dubai-based Malayali girl has developed an artificial intelligence based application that she claims can detect various eye diseases and conditions. Leena Rafeeq took to LinkedIn to announce her unique creation that uses a scanning process via an iPhone. Named ‘Ogler EyeScan’, the app was developed when Leena was 10 years old.

Posting a video that demonstrated the working of her app, it showed the Ogler EyeScan identifying conditions likeArcus, Melanoma, Pterygium, and Cataract with the help of trained models. Leena claimed that the app can ‘analyse parameters like light and color intensity, distance, and look-up points to locate the eyes within the frame range’ by utilising advanced computer vision, and machine learning algorithms. It also identifies any light burst issues and if the eyes are positioned exactly inside the scanner frame, she added.
