Arms

  • Active Comparator: Usual Care
    Patients with diabetes will follow the clinic's usual practice, in which the primary care provider recommends an annual screening eye exam for patients with diabetes. This requires the patient to make a separate visit to see an eye care provider. Clinic staff will provide scheduling assistance per the standard scheduling procedure for the clinic.
  • Experimental: AI Intervention
    AI intervention includes (1) acquisition of eye photos and (2) autonomous (i.e. without human oversight) AI-based identification of referrable or non-referrable eye disease at the primary care clinic.

Primary Outcome Measure

Proportion of patients who get eye screening in the AI and usual-care arms within 5 months of the recommendation [ Time Frame: up to 5 months ]
