Methods, systems, and computer readable media for analyzing an image using machine learning and human computation. A method for analyzing an image includes providing, via multiple instances of an interactive application for analysis of the image, multiple instances, respectively, of the image and receiving, via the interactive application, data from results of analyses of the image including multiple sets of user inputs from the analyses of the multiple instances of the image, respectively. The multiple sets of user inputs are from multiple users, respectively and the multiple users are associated with the multiple instances of the interactive application, respectively. The method further includes processing the received data to identify areas of interest within the image based on the multiple sets of user inputs and analyzing the image using a machine learning algorithm to identify structures in the image based on the identified areas of interest within the image.

Image analysis using machine learning and human computation

The present disclosure generally relates to local therapies for the eye and, more particularly, to shaped controlled-release ocular implant devices, including methods for making and using such devices, for delivery of therapeutic agents to the eye. A molded two-layer ocular implant comprises a therapeutic agent for treatment or prevention of a disorder of the eye. The implant comprises a polymer layer and a silicone adhesive layer with a therapeutic agent interspersed therein and joined to the polymer layer. This implant is for placement in the sub-Tenon's space of the eye and provides sustained release of the therapeutic agent during the treatment or prevention of the disorder of the eye.
