Bryan Shaw, a scientist, has a son named Noah who lost an eye to cancer. When Noah was diagnosed with retinoblastoma the doctor shined a light into his eye and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball which indicated a tumor. Bryan wondered if he could see the same reflection in flash pictures of their son because parents usually take a plethora of pictures of their kids. He found out he could, and then he developed software called CRADLE that uses artificial intelligence to scan an image and detect signs of serious eye diseases. It does have a 1% false-positive rate, but it will continue to get better and more accurate as the days go on.
