A New Method and a Non-Invasive Device to Estimate Anemia Based on Digital Images of the Conjunctiva

A New Method and a Non-Invasive Device to Estimate Anemia Based on Digital Images of the Conjunctiva

Medical practice for determining haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, which is important for anemic patients in need of blood transfusion, requires a blood sample. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive approach to Hb estimation based on the image analysis of a specific conjunctival region. Our goal is...
