“…Rachapelle et al 23 showed systematic screening for rural patients with diabetes once every 2 years was cost-effective ($1061–$3183/QALY) compared with no screening, opportunistic or annual screening; however, cost-effectiveness will be dependent on administrative costs of establishing and maintaining regular screening. Brady et al 24 estimated cost savings of $36/patient ($38 telescreening vs $74 no screening), and sensitivity analyses showed that increased prevalence of DR in the target patient population increased cost savings. Richardson et al 25 estimated cost savings of $153.53/patient (~$71 000 over 7 years) from avoiding an additional visit to the ophthalmologist.…”

“…In several studies, the results showed that all socioeconomic costs of the medication-based diabetic retinopathy screening model were significantly lower than the physician-based model cost of $173 per person. In general, in many parts of the world, there is a strong logic for telemedicine implementation based on economic, social and cultural aspects [55][56][57]. Another study showed that remote doctor ophthalmologist examination of diabetes retinopathy was very cost effective compared to direct screening by specialists [58].…”

Introduction: In the field of health, information and communication technology plays an important role, the world is experiencing the era of communication, the field of health is not asymmetrical. According to the study, Iran is one of the countries that is at high risk of diabetes, and continues to increase in Iran and in most countries. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Material and Methods: This study was conducted as a review and through a search of valid information databases such as PubMed, Science direct, and Google Scholar. After the final extraction from the 106 papers in the cellular field 37% and 36% in telemedicine and 27% in the Internet topic from 2010 to 2018, were finalized.Results: The findings of the study showed that the recent developments in information technology combined with services for cost optimization have increased and the current use of information technology (IT) offers unique opportunities for patients with diabetes. Internet, mobile phone and telemedicine services can facilitate and improve communication between patients and healthcare professionals and play an important role in managing diabetes. The growing challenge is the proper management of diabetes to play an important role by employing innovative approaches aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing the incidence of adverse healthcare systems.Conclusion: This study is an overview of information and communication technology research in diabetes management and can help researchers measure the effectiveness of information and communication technology in diabetes self-care and therapeutic systems in different areas and motivate self-management. Cost reduction, technology acceptance and satisfaction.

“…The economic impact of eye care telemedicine in a mountainous, rural health center in West Virginia over a period of seven years from 2003-2009 was evaluated in [5]. In [6] established if proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) screening of tele-ophthalmology could be price-saving. In [7], it was proposed that primary care hospitals may use telemedicine to monitor for diabetic retinopathy and track for disease intensifying over a prolonged period of time.…”

A developing automated retinal disease diagnostic system based on image analysis has now demonstrated the ability in clinical research. Though, the accuracy of these systems has been negotiated repeatedly, generally due to the basic effort in perceiving the abnormal structures as well as due to deficits in the image gaining that affects image quality. Use the fuzzy clustering; the noises contained in the samples are omitted from the above. Unless the noises will be taken away from the samples instead dimension reduction initializes the optimization of Mutual Information (MI) as just a coarse localization process that narrows the domain of optimization and tries to avoid local optimization. Furthermore, the suggested work closer to the retina picture being done using the Improved Support Vector Machine (ISVM) system used in the area-based registration, offering a reliable approach. It is the first matching template algorithm for retina images with tiny template images of unconstrained retinal areas to the best understanding.

Tele-ophthalmology Screening for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in Urban Primary Care Offices: An Economic Analysis

Abstract: A substantial burden of diabetic retinopathy was identified, most of which was undiagnosed. In a closed system, tele-ophthalmology screening for PDR is likely to be cost-saving across the range of scenarios explored.
