EviRed highlights in the ARVO and SFO 2025, main conferences for Ophthalmology and Research

The French ophthalmology community had 2 importants events in the last 2 weeks :

  • First of all, some members of EviRed team attended the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2025 conference, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from May 4th to 8th. This conference brings annually together the ophthalmology research community.

Mostafa El Habib Daho presented a very interesting poster entitled « Device-Agnostic Deep Learning Framework for Diabetic Retinopathy Grading Using Ultra-Widefield Fundus Photography ».

And Carla Danese presented a poster related to « the effect of a new antidiabetic drugs on one-year change of OCT-A metrics, work performed on EviRed data ».

 

  • Then, some EviRed team members  attended the SFO 2025 (annual meeting of the French Ophthalmology Society) in Paris from May 10th to 12th.

EviRed was highlighted, as examples,

  • During a passionated 2h session organized by SFO titled « IA from today to tomorrow in ophthalmology » where the Evired Partners were well represented by Prof. Beatrice Cochener from the LaTIM, Prof. Aude Couturier from AP-HP and Stéphanie Magazzeni from ZEISS as key speakers.
  • During a retina-dedicated session, Prof. Pascale Massin presented a description of the population included in EviRed cohort.

Those meetings are always a good moment to exchange and meet with our partners.

The Evired Team at « Retine en Pratique » in Paris on the 28th March 2025

Part of the Evired Team met during the 20th edition of the « Rétine en Pratique » congress organized in Paris on the 28th of March and led by Pr Aude Couturier and Pr Alain Gaudric.

The congress was dedicated to all secrets of the choroid and we learned a lot!

It is always a pleasure to exchange all together on Retina topic.

Members of the clinical sites (principal investigators, investigators, orthoptists, study coordinators…) and reading center graders were present.

Although the congress had over 500 participants, only a small number of us were available to be present for the photo.

The EviRed adventure continues, so stay tuned!

Celebrate the 5th anniversary of EviRed! 🎉

Today, we are delighted to celebrate an important milestone in our journey: the fifth anniversary of our project!

Over the past five years, we have had the honor to work on this innovative project promoted by AP-HP and supported by ANR and we would like to share our achievements and their impact :

  • More than 3000 patients are enrolled in the clinical study in the 14 French sites. Their longitudinal data collected (contextual data and images) are key for the project. Deep Thanks to the patients for their contribution… And we are happy to announce that the follow up will continue this year !

We want to express our gratitude to all the stakeholders at sites for the tremendous work they accomplish daily: investigators, co-investigators, orthoptistes and study coordinators that follow the daily work on site.

A big shout also to the URC team improving the   data set quality with their data cleaning activities.

  • Our industrial partners Evolucare, Adcis and ZEISS worked hand-in -hands with AP-HP to enable the review of all the patient collected images  at the reading center based in Lariboisière hospital AP-HP.

Thanks to IT Teams and partners to permit the set of the reading center and to the graders and supergraders. The reading center already reviewed more than 15 000 images!

  • Our dedicated Ai teams have already published several articles on various innovative approachs for the developement of algorithms wich could ultimately  serve unmet needs in Diabetic Retinopathy.Thanks to LaTim teams.

 

This year is particularly special, as it marks the last step before finalizing our algorithm. We look forward to sharing with you the advances that will transform the life of patients and impact the daily lives of ophthalmologists to choose the best strategy on the monitoring of the Diabetic Retinopathy

Thank you to all who have been with us throughout this journey. Your support is invaluable and we look forward to continuing this adventure together!

🎈 Let’s stay connected and celebrate together! 🎈

The Evired team was present at the “Retina and Diabete” organized by Pascale Massin and Catherine Creuzot Garcher

The 4th « Retine and Diabete » congress has been hold in Paris last Friday November 29th

The whole day focused on latest developments as well future of Diabetis and its impact on the eye with interactive and valuable discussions between diabetologists and ophthalmologists.

 

This has also been the opportunity for Evired stakeholders to meet and exchange : investigators, dedicated TEC teams and orthoptists from APHP and Broca center, reading center team and some of the consortium partners (Latim and Evolucare) were excited to note the key relevance of our project for patients with DR.

MICCAI 2024 – Presence of EviRed team and IA challenges lead by LaTIM team

As in previous years, LaTIM members represented the EVIRED consortium at MICCAI, the premier conference on AI for medical image analysis.

  • Rachid Zeghlache presented his latest work on longitudinal retinal image analysis and chaired an engaging oral session on the MARIO challenge, focused on the longitudinal analysis of retinal OCT images, and organized by EVIRED.
  • At the same time, Gwenolé Quellec chaired another oral session on the DIAMOND challenge, which focused on predicting the onset of diabetic macular edema using ultrawide-field fundus photography. This session, also organized by EVIRED and sponsored by Zeiss, was supported remotely by Mostafa El Habib Daho.

Both challenge events provided excellent opportunities to promote the EVIRED project within the medical AI community. Naturally, we made sure to explore the beautiful city of Marrakesh!
