SUMMARY:Workshop Invitation: The NeurEYE Project
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Invitation: Retina Imaging – biomarkers – early detection of risk of Alzheimer’s \nDear colleagues at Optometry Scotland \nWe would like to invite you to participate in an academic workshop at the University of Edinburgh organised as part of the NeurEYE project. The project is based at the Centre for Medical Informatics\, Usher Institute\, and is led by Professor Miguel Bernabeu (Centre for Medical Informatics\, Usher Institute) and Professor Baljean Dhillon (Institution for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research). The NeurEYE project explores the potential of retinal imaging and AI to support the earlier identification of cognitive decline. \nWhy this matters and why we hope you’ll join us:\nAcross the UK\, there is growing interest in how we can identify cognitive decline earlier\, support people sooner\, and strengthen connections between community optometry\, primary care\, brain-health services\, and specialist assessment. Retinal imaging and AI offer a promising new lens into neurovascular change\, but understanding where such approaches genuinely add value requires insight from those working across the pathway. Your perspective is essential to shaping this conversation. \nThe workshop is intended to bring together colleagues from optometry\, primary care\, neurology\, memory services\, and brain-health initiatives for open\, constructive discussion. Our aim is to explore where such technologies might realistically fit within existing systems\, how they could support clinical or preventive work\, and what kinds of services\, responsibilities\, and data flows may need to be considered. \nThe workshop is designed as a collaborative\, interdisciplinary academic exercise. We hope it will serve as a space for peer exchange\, shared learning\, and collective reflection\, while also generating valuable insights into the service-design implications and potential care pathways that might emerge around the use of these technologies. \nWorkshop details\n📅 Wednesday 14 January\n⏰ 4:00–6:00 pm\n📍 Edinburgh Futures Institute (Room 3.35) (Google Maps) \nTo register\, please go to the following link: https://forms.gle/vKtfk5HNjvusrCBk9 \n\nHonoraria will be offered in recognition of your time and contribution.\nThe findings of the workshop\, along with qualitative research undertaken in preparation\, will be summarised in a manuscript for dissemination/publication. Interested workshop attendees will be invited to co-author.\nAny questions about the workshop\, please contact elizondo@ed.ac.uk\n\nYour expertise and experience would be invaluable to this conversation\, and we would be delighted if you were able to join us.
