The EVIRED program was well represented at this year’s EURETINA Congress in Vienna, highlighting both the progress achieved so far and the next steps of the project.

Pr. Aude Couturier presented, for the first time, the main results of EVIRED, providing an overview of the key findings generated by the program to date. Stay tuned — more results are coming soon!

Abir Zureik presented the study “8-Year Incidence of Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes: A National Study”

Looking ahead, Pr. Jean-François Korobelnik introduced EVIRED-LIFT, the next phase of the EVIRED program. Conducted across two sites, EVIRED-LIFT will enrich the existing dataset with functional data, opening new opportunities to further advance retinal imaging and AI-based prediction research.

A great opportunity to share the progress of EVIRED with the international retina community and an exciting step toward the next phase of the program.

On June 25, we were delighted to welcome our attendees in Paris for the EviRed final meeting.

The event brought together leading national and international retina specialists, diabetologists, artificial intelligence experts, and the academic and industrial partners.

The day featured rich scientific discussions around the first results from the EVIRED cohort, including its clinical characteristics, the incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy complications, and several ongoing research projects that will further advance our understanding of diabetic eye disease.

A major highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the final performance results of the EVIRED artificial intelligence algorithms. Their validation on one of the largest prospective multicenter cohorts of patients with diabetes in Europe represents an important milestone.

Beyond presenting the results, the meeting provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss future research directions, and strengthen collaborations between clinicians, researchers, engineers, and industry partners.

A heartfelt thank you to all investigators, clinicians, researchers, engineers, patients, and our academic and industrial partners for their dedication and outstanding collaboration throughout this journey.

The EVIRED project was presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), held this year in Denver, USA (1st picture).

EVIRED was also represented at the annual congress of the Société Française d’Ophtalmologie (SFO) at Paris. On this occasion, Prof. Aude Couturier presented the first results of the EVIRED project through the presentations (pictures 2 and 3):

• “AI and Retinal Photography: EVIRED”
• “Will the first EVIRED results change our practice in diabetic retinopathy?”

Ms. Abir Zureik also presented the results of the study entitled (picture 4):
“Factors associated with ophthalmological care among patients with diabetes in France: a nationwide SNDS study.”

Stay tuned for more upcoming news from the EVIRED project

EviRed is proud to announce a key milestone in the project: the successful linkage of the EviRed cohort with the SNDS (French National Health Data System).

This major achievement significantly strengthens the value of the EVIRED RHU project. It enables the development of advanced medico-economic analyses and, in the longer term, will enhance our understanding of care pathways for patients living with diabetes.

We are pleased to announce that, as of February 24, the ANR has approved a six-month extension for the RHU Evired project.

This extension will enable the teams to finalise the remaining research work and enhance the performance of the artificial intelligence.

On February 6, 2026, the “RHU EVIRED Event Day” was held in Paris.

This meeting was distinguished by the diversity of its participants, bringing together experts in artificial intelligence, ophthalmologists, diabetologists, as well as members of the reading center and methodologists.

Discussions around the EVIRED project were particularly rich and constructive. They highlighted the high quality of the ongoing research work and opened up promising perspectives for the development of new ideas and future collaborations.

The EVIRED team would like to thank all participants for their active contributions, as well as everyone involved in the RHU EVIRED project, whose commitment and dedication have made the progress of this outstanding project possible.
