Abstract

Iontophoresis is an effective, non-invasive method of intraocular drug delivery based on electric current. However, it has many limitations that can be addressed by effective computational models based on both machine learning (a data-driven approach) and other artificial intelligence methods and techniques. To date, computational models using AI/ML are lacking, including for the iontophoresis mechanism itself. Their wider use would help facilitate the delivery of drugs to the eye, which remains a major challenge due to the multiple barriers in the eye. The aim of this paper is to explore the feasibility of developing a computational model for ocular iontophoresis using available AI methods and techniques.
