What is EYE-CAN-AID?
EYE-CAN-AID (Eye Cancer Artificial Intelligence Database)is a Trusted Research Environment (TRE) providing secure access to comprehensive ocular oncology data for collaborative research. Our platform integrates histology images, clinical imaging (fundoscopy and OCT), clinical data, and genetic information to advance understanding and treatment of ocular cancers.
We provide researchers worldwide with the tools and data needed to make breakthrough discoveries in ocular oncology, while maintaining the highest standards of data security and patient confidentiality.
Our infrastructure is hosted by ARO with pathology imaging hosting provided by NPIC, ensuring enterprise-grade security and reliability.
