“…Throughout the past decade, the sensitivity and specificity of digital screening technologies have improved, with recent studies indicating comparable outcomes between telemedicine-based retinal image photography and screening via indirect ophthalmoscopy. [12][13][14][15] Moreover, by mediating online consultation and providing data for retrospective analysis as part of the electronic health record, digital imaging devices such as the RetCam (Clarity Medical Systems, Pleasanton, Calif.) may offer more objective information for ROP detection and historical comparison, thus paving the way for better care. 16 Other potential benefits of remote telemedicine screening include decreased cost of travel, reduced stress from bedside examinations of at-risk infants, and an extension of ROP diagnostic expertise into underserved regions on both a national and an international level.…”
