The GEYEDANCE project is preparing for clinical validation

13. Dezember 2024

From November 25 to 28, 2024, the GEYEDANCE consortium held a key meeting in Karlsruhe to evaluate the developed features, prepare the final development stages and the upcoming clinical validation.

Together with an experienced ophthalmic surgeon from project partner UNIFE, the newly developed features were thoroughly tested in the laboratory. The outcome of the tests will provide essential feedback for the further improvement of the AI-based robotic assistance functions developed in the GEYEDANCE project.

Accordingly, the meeting represented an important milestone, laid the groundwork for the upcoming successful clinical implementation.
