Upcoming Events

The MuCaRD challenge addresses a critical gap in AI‐driven fundus screening: ensuring consistent performance across both familiar and unseen camera systems. Participants will develop and benchmark models under realistic constraints—training on a limited set of images from one device and then evaluating robustness and adaptability on entirely new devices. By simulating clinical and commercial deployment scenarios, MuCaRD promotes methods that generalize beyond a single data source and can quickly fine‐tune to novel imaging hardware.
