Non-Invasive Estimation of Hemoglobin Levels in Blood Using Combined Deep Learning Methods

Completed

• Conditions: Hemoglobin Level Measurement; Hemoglobin Level Estimation

• Registration Number: NCT04865224
• Lead Sponsor: Karabuk University

Brief Summary

Hemoglobin is an important protein that gives the blood its red color and helps transport oxygen to organs. There are quite a lot of people in the world who need to have their hemoglobin levels checked regularly, especially anemia patients. It is important to keep the hemoglobin levels in the blood of these individuals under control. For this, it is necessary to measure in frequent periods. A large group, from adults to children, needs to take these measurements. Most of these are invasive measurements made with blood that require devices and trained people. These painful methods are quite uncomfortable.

In this study, non-invasive hemoglobin level measurement was aimed with a combined DL model created by using nail images with age, height, weight, BMI, and gender information of the volunteers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Estimation accuracy analysis	1 day	It is an analysis that compares the estimated hemoglobin values with the measured hemoglobin values.
Bland-Altman analysis	1 day	Bland-Altman analysis was performed to make the results simpler and more understandable. This analysis is especially used in the simple and graphical expression of measurements in which two methods are compared.
