RCSV & SO Joint Research Forum - "How AI is Transforming Ophthalmology, Medicine, and the World"

Dr Robert Chang is a fellowship-trained refractive cataract and glaucoma specialist working at Stanford since 2009 and Co-Director of the Stanford Glaucoma Fellowship. He focuses on premium lenses (Panoptix and Vivity) as well as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (i.e. Hydrus, OMNI, iTrack, ECP, KDB, iStent, Xen, MP3). His funded clinical research and data science team harnesses glaucoma insights from the Stanford Glaucoma Registry of Real World Evidence combining longitudinal electronic records, imaging, and a growing biorepository of aqueous samples. Previously, he helped develop the normative databases for the ubiquitous optical coherence tomography (OCT) and is an expert in testing novel portable medical devices (i.e. virtual reality headsets), enabling home monitoring (Xala Health), and validating algorithms. Dr Chang co-invented the EyeGo Smartphone imaging adapter, which was licensed and commercialized as the Paxos Scope. He previously co-founded a venture-backed seed stage consumer health startup and is a scientific advisor board member to multiple Fortune 500 and small pharmaceutical, med device, and digital health companies.
