Using a head-mounted display virtual reality, all participants viewed a 15-minute video of serene nature scenes with ambient sounds. Fifteen patients also participated in a second session of viewing bucket-list video clips they selected.

ADRET is a bidirectional encoder representations from transformers style self-supervised learning convolutional neural network pretrained on a large data set of retinal color photographs from UK Biobank.

Pragmatic trials often play a key role in the health impact evaluation. The current review introduces the concept of pragmatic trials, their role in AI evaluation, the challenges of conducting pragmatic trials, and strategies to mitigate the challenges. We also examined common designs used in pragmatic trials and highlighted examples of published or ongoing AI trials.
