Altris AI introduced an advanced flagging system to search through the large volumes of OCT scans, including historical data. Eyecare professionals can instantly identify OCT scans with specific retina pathologies or biomarkers from the list of over 70 conditions, the company said in a press release. For example, the company said, clinicians can locate OCT scans of all patients with a soft drusen or dry AMD, forming cohorts for clinical or research purposes.

For those who work with geographic atrophy (GA) biomarkers, it is also possible to exclude the presence of GA biomarkers in 1, 3,6 mm ETDRS zones to spot early development of this pathology, the company said.

According to Altris AI, the flagging system is precise and enables fast, targeted searches across historical records and large datasets—including OCT scans from different devices. This advancement supports a more efficient workflow and enhances access to critical data for both diagnostics and research.

With flags for smart filtering, eyecare specialists can:

• Track risk-related biomarkers and set reminders for patient follow-ups

• Quickly identify eligible candidates for clinical studies by searching through large volumes of data

• Confidently introduce new treatments by finding the right patient profiles

• Filter rare or complex cases to study unique combinations of pathologies and biomarkers and their progression

By enabling customizable filtering across over 70 pathologies and biomarkers, flags support better disease tracking, faster research, and more personalized treatment planning, the company said.
