AI model grades knee osteoarthritis severity on limited devices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel approach for grading knee osteoarthritis severity using a combination of deep learning and a large language model. The system utilizes a ResNet-18 convolutional neural network, optimized and converted to TensorFlow Lite for deployment on devices with limited computational resources. This on-device model achieved a test accuracy of 94.48% and can function without continuous internet connectivity. An auxiliary LLM, Gemini-2.0-flash, provides interpretive findings such as potential symptoms and preventive measures, enhancing the tool's utility as an accessible decision-support system. AI

IMPACT Enables on-device AI diagnostics for musculoskeletal disorders, improving accessibility in resource-constrained environments.
