Abstract: 
Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown potential for recognizing retinopathy caused by diabetes (DR). However, developing quantum computing has the possibility for improved feature representation. We propose a hybrid approach that combines classical CNNs with quantum circuits to capitalize on both classical and quantum information for DR classification. Using the Keras and Qiskit frameworks, our model encodes picture features into quantum states, allowing for richer representations. Through experiments on a collection of retinal pictures, our model displays competitive performance, with excellent reliability and precision in categorizing DR severity levels. This combination of classical and quantum paradigms offers a fresh approach to enhancing DR diagnosis and therapy.
