Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Detection and Progression Analysis

Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) is a severe complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss if not detected and managed promptly. This data analysis project aims to develop an advanced diagnostic system for PDR detection using retinal images. Going beyond conventional approaches, proposed a novel methodology that integrates multi-modal data and employs explainable artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance accuracy and interpretability. The project utilizes a diverse dataset, including retinal images, patient histories, genetics, and lifestyle data. A multi-modal fusion framework extracts features capturing subtle Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) variations. Alongside precise diagnosis, the study introduces longitudinal analysis for PDR progression prediction.Proposed model not only detects PDR but also provides transparent insights into its decision-making process, empowering clinicians to validate and understand the predictions. The proposed design involves using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify images of the retina into different stages of Diabetic Retinopathy. The model will be evaluated using the Confusion Matrix and True Value and Predicted Value Comparison. The outcomes of this project extend beyond conventional PDR detection by offering an interpretable AI-powered tool for clinicians. The system holds promise for revolutionizing PDR management, promoting early detection, and providing tailored interventions for patients.
