Swati Kiran Rajput, Prachi Karale . A Review on Early Detection and Progression Prediction of Diabetic Retinopathy using Multimodal Analysis. International Journal of Computer Applications. 187, 102 ( May 2026), 22-27. DOI=10.5120/ijca60d389c72543
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a major complication of diabetes mellitus, is a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness in the working-age population globally. The intricate nature of DR, characterized by gradual retinal damage due to prolonged high blood sugar levels, makes its early detection and management critical. However, the current landscape of DR diagnosis and management faces significant challenges, primarily stemming from the limitations in existing diagnostic methods and the lack of comprehensive patient data integration. This work addresses these challenges by proposing a novel approach that leverages multimodal data fusion, utilizing machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, aiming to enhance the accuracy, pre-emption, and clinical management of DR.
