This AI method to non-invasively screen for anemia could add value to existing diabetic eye disease screening programs, or support an anemia screening that would be quicker and easier than a blood test. Additionally, this work is another example of using deep learning with explainable insights to discover new biomedical knowledge, extending our previous work on cardiovascular risk factors, refractive error, and progression of macular degeneration. We hope this will inspire additional research to reveal new scientific insights from existing medical tests, and to help improve early interventions and health outcomes.
