Elaine Manna passed away in July 2025 after many years of valued contribution as a patient champion for the benefits of health data research and artificial intelligence to improve healthcare. Here, Pearse Keane shares the eulogy he gave at Elaine's funeral, reflecting on their friendship, Elaine's resolve to make a difference, and her lasting impact on eye health research.

The UK will benefit from a new initiative to scale the INSIGHT Health Data Research Hub for Eye Health and Oculomics – the world’s largest collection of curated eye imaging and linked clinical data at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. 

Using artificial intelligence (AI) in eye clinics could reduce both undertreatment and overtreatment of neovascular or ‘wet’ age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

Professor Pearse Keane has been elected to the US National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in recognition of his pioneering role developing medical artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology and forging the novel field of Oculomics - using biomarkers in the eye to detect systemic disease.

AI can accurately predict when young people with the sight-threatening eye condition kerataconus need treatment to stabilise the cornea and prevent loss of vision

A research consortium of over 100 study groups in more than 65 countries has launched the Global RETFound initiative, a collaborative effort to develop the first globally representative Artificial Intelligence (AI) foundation model in medicine, using 100 million eye images.

In a step forward for sustainable medical artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,...

A novel AI tool could transform screening for patients taking hydroxychloroquine by spotting early signs of eye damage

The Royal Society has announced that Professor Pearse Keane is the recipient of the 2025 Gabor Medal, in recognition of pioneering retinal imaging research driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

ITV News has reported on how medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools being developed at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and University College London’s Institute of Ophthalmology could lead to improved care for patients.

A review of regulator-approved medical AI models in eye care has found that they vary widely in providing evidence for clinical performance and lacked transparency about training data.
