AnemiaVision uses smartphone photos for non-invasive anemia detection

Researchers have developed AnemiaVision, a web-based system capable of detecting anemia using smartphone images of the palpebral conjunctiva and fingernail beds. The system fine-tunes an EfficientNet-B3 model, incorporating advanced augmentation techniques like TrivialAugmentWide and Mixup, alongside a cosine-annealing learning schedule. AnemiaVision achieved a validation accuracy of 96.2% and an AUC-ROC of 0.98, demonstrating its potential as a low-cost, accessible screening tool for healthcare workers in resource-limited areas. The source code and the system itself are publicly available. AI

IMPACT Provides a low-cost, accessible AI-powered screening tool for anemia, potentially improving global health outcomes.

    AnemiaVision: Non-Invasive Anemia Detection via Smartphone Imagery Using EfficientNet-B3 with TrivialAugmentWide, Mixup Augmentation, and Persistent Patient History Management

    arXiv:2604.22964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anemia affects over one billion people globally and remains severely under-diagnosed in low-resource regions where laboratory blood tests are inaccessible. This paper presents AnemiaVision, an end-to-end web-based system for non-inv…
