    Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes, leading to severe health issues like sensory loss and amputations.

  • 2

    Current DPN diagnostic methods are often subjective, invasive, or insufficiently sensitive, highlighting the need for improved detection techniques.

  • 3

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method that can assess retinal nerve fiber layer thickness as a biomarker for DPN.

  • 4

    The study proposes a deep learning algorithm utilizing a multi-head attention mechanism to analyze multimodal OCT images for DPN identification.

  • 5

    This automated approach aims to enhance early detection of DPN in high-risk populations, improving clinical management of diabetes.
