Objective

Drive forward the global progress of eye research by establishing a network connecting like-minded researchers.

Endorsement

COIN is endorsed by the Asia Pacific Ocular Inflammation Society (APOIS) & the International Uveitis Study Group (IUSG)

Overview

• The COIN website (ocularimaging.net) is an online platform/database that
• Provides timely updates on the research progress of ocular imaging biomarkers, including choroid vascularity index (CVI), vitreous haze index (VHI), and retinal vascularity index (RVI).
• Allows approved members to propose and upload projects related to CVI, VHI, RVI, and IVI, to establish multinational collaborative projects.
• Enables automated analysis of images to generate data for CVI, VHI, RVI, and IVI.
• The COIN research consortium will adhere strictly to institutional ethics policies, and all patient data uploaded must be completely de-identified.
• Interested researchers can contact us via this platform to become a member of the COIN consortium. However, access to CVI, VHI, RVI, and IVI has to be applied separately.
• Members can indicate interest to contribute as a collaborator for proposed projects. All images and data may be uploaded onto the ‘GRID’ for CVI, VHI, RVI, and IVI separately. Data will be strictly protected and only be made visible to those collaborating in the same project.
