[Audio] INTRODUCTION Anemia is a blood disorder caused by low hemoglobin, leading to fatigue and weakness. Early detection is essential to prevent severe health complications and improve quality of life. Non-invasive detection using images of the eye conjunctiva and nail bed provides a faster, safer alternative to blood tests. Deep learning models can automatically extract features and classify images as anemic or healthy. Fusing results from conjunctiva and nail images may improve prediction accuracy in future implementations..
[Audio] PROBLEM STATEMENT Traditional anemia detection methods are invasive, time-consuming, and not accessible for routine screening. Single-source image detection (eye or nail) may have limited accuracy due to variations in lighting, skin tone, and image quality. There is a need to compare or integrate multiple image sources to improve detection reliability. A fast, automated, and non-invasive prediction system is required for real-time health monitoring..
[Audio] EXISTING APPROACH Laboratory Blood Tests (Traditional): Hemoglobin (Hb) measured from blood samples; highly accurate but invasive, time-consuming, and resource-dependent. Clinical Visual Examination: Doctors inspect palpebral conjunctiva, nailbed, and lips for pallor; non-invasive but subjective and dependent on lighting and clinician expertise.

Discusses score-level (late) fusion, feature fusion, and decision fusion. Highlights weighted score fusion to integrate prediction probabilities from independent deep learning models to improve robustness and reduce bias. Concludes that score-level fusion significantly improves diagnostic reliability and generalization over single-modality models, especially under varying lighting and skin-tone conditions. Supports the use of eye–nail score fusion mechanisms for mobile and low-resource anemia screening applications 7. Lightweight Hybrid Model for Bone Fracture Detection Using MobileNetV2 Feature Extraction and Ensemble Learning Bahriye Isgor; Murat Koklu Journal of Future Artificial Intelligence and Technologies, Vol. 2, No. 3, Dec 2025 MobileNetV2 was used as a frozen deep feature extractor and combined with ensemble classifiers.

[Audio] PROPOSED METHOD Dual Capture: Acquires images of the conjunctiva and nail bed simultaneously. Parallel AI Processing: Two separate CNNs analyze the preprocessed images to get individual probability scores. Weighted Fusion: The individual scores are combined via a Weighted Averaging Calculation for a final, reliable score. Compares the final score to an ROC based Optimal Threshold to classify the result as "Anemic" or "Non-Anemic"..

[Audio] GRAD-CAM BASED MODEL VALIDATION Grad-CAM was applied to the final convolutional layers to visualize regions influencing anemia prediction. Eye model attention was concentrated on the palpebral conjunctiva, while nail model focused on the central nailbed region. ROI-based preprocessing reduced background activation and improved localization accuracy. Heatmaps confirmed that the model learned clinically relevant features rather than noise or artifacts. Grad-CAM validation enhances model interpretability, reliability, and clinical trust..
[Audio] WORKFLOW IN ANDROID APP Medical Image Acquisition Clinical images are captured using smartphones, dermatoscopes, slit-lamp cameras, or digital microscopes (e.g., nailbed, conjunctiva, skin lesions). Image Preprocessing Images are resized (usually 224×224), normalized, noise-reduced, and sometimes cropped or enhanced to highlight medical regions of interest. Feature Extraction using MobileNetV2 The preprocessed image is passed through MobileNetV2, which uses depth wise separable convolutions and inverted residual blocks to efficiently extract medically relevant features. Fine-Tuned Classification Layer Transfer learning is applied by retraining final layers on medical datasets to classify conditions (e.g., normal vs abnormal, disease categories). Prediction & Clinical Output The model outputs probabilities, risk scores, or diagnostic suggestions, which are displayed in the app for screening, monitoring, or decision support.
