U.S. researchers develop AI-augmented app for anemia monitoring
LOS ANGELES -- U.S. researchers have developed an AI-augmented smartphone app capable of noninvasively estimating blood hemoglobin levels and screening for anemia based on photos of users' fingernails, according to a new study published Tuesday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The app demonstrated high accuracy when compared to self-reported complete blood count results from 9,061 users. Over 1.4 million uses of the app also enabled the creation of a real-time anemia prevalence map across the United States, the study noted.
Researchers said the noninvasive and easily accessible nature of the tool makes it a promising solution for large-scale anemia screening and monitoring, particularly in low-resource settings.
They also highlighted the app's potential for personalized health tracking, allowing individuals with anemia to monitor their own hemoglobin levels over time.
The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
