SSM Health uses autonomous AI within primary care to screen for diabetic retinopathy. Same-visit exams with fundus cameras boosted screening rates, especially among underserved patients. The initiative improved early detection, equity, and access to eye care, while reducing specialist burden and enhancing patient outcomes.
