Your phone diagnoses anemia at a glance!

ATLANTA, Georgia – Smartphones will soon be able to diagnose anemia at a glance, which will strengthen its role as a mobile doctor in the pocket.

Researchers at Emory University in the United States said they designed an application to diagnose anemia by taking only one photo of the nails.

Anemia is the most prevalent blood disease in the world. It affects nearly 2 billion people and is caused by a lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin.

Due to declining hemoglobin level, lack of access to enough oxygen causes patients to complain of symptoms of fatigue, headaches, lack of concentration and lethargy etc.
While patients had previously needed a blood sample to analyze hemoglobin levels, the process became easier once the nail image was taken to analyze colors and revealing metadata. the presence of the disease.

The new application, based on the Android and AOS systems, was the subject of a four-week study involving 337 people suffering from various blood diseases.
