Hemoglobin level in the blood is an important biochemical parameter of the complete blood count that indicates medical conditions like anemia and polycythemia . The conventional hematology analyzers are equipped with optical detection systems that can monitor multiple parameters. However, increased sample volume and cost of the device are potential limitations of the existing systems. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) enabled imaging system for hemoglobin estimation.
The setup includes a microfluidic chip and an AI-powered microscope that was initially developed to measure the total and differential blood cell count. In this study, the researchers demonstrated the applicability of the imaging device for the assessment of biochemical parameters without any hardware-modification. Hemoglobin testing is made possible because…
