Validation of a Smartphone App for Anemia Screening Among General Population

August 4, 2022 updated by: Haotian Lin, Sun Yat-sen University

Validation of a Smartphone App for Anemia Screening Among General Population: A Clinical Trial

The current standard for anemia screening, complete blood count, presents invasiveness, infrastructure requirements and high costs, leading to serious underestimation of anemia prevalence and insufficient care for anemia patients. Here, the investigators established and validated an artificial intelligence system to achieve automatic detection of anemia based on patient-sourced images of fingernails and conjunctivae. This system has been integrated into a smartphone app to be further validated through hospital-based and population-based clinical trials.
