VUNO, a member company of the Born2Global Centre, announced that their AI based screening solution for the fundus, VUNO Med®-Fundus AI™ is approved as a Class III medical device by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. VUNO Med®-Fundus AI™ is the first ever AI device to gain a Class III approval in Korea and is clinically validated to provide highly accurate screening results. The fundus examination is carried out to observe the state of the fundus, made up of the retina, optic nerve, and retinal blood vessels that play key roles in eyesight. This procedure is known to offer early detections of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma--three main diseases that may lead to loss of sight. VUNO Med®-Fundus AI™ was developed based on a large-scale deep learning dataset of more than 100,000 fundus images that have been examined by more than 50 ophthalmologists including 28 specialists. The training dataset was collected from various retinal cameras (CF60Uvi, CR6-45NM, VX-10, VX-10a, nonmyd 7, and GENSIS-D).
