Abstract
AbstractAnemia is one of the global public health challenges that particularly affect children and pregnant women. A study by WHO indicates that 42% of children below the age of 6 and 40% of pregnant women worldwide are anemic. This affects the world's total population by 33%, due to the cause of iron deficiency. The non‐invasive technique, such as the use of machine learning algorithms is one of the methods used in the diagnosis or detection of clinical diseases, which anemia detection cannot be overlooked in recent days. In this study, a machine learning approach was used to detect iron‐deficiency anemia with the application of Naïve Bayes, CNN, SVM, k‐NN, and decision tree algorithms. This enabled us to compare the conjunctiva of the eyes, the palpable palm, and the color of the fingernail images to justify which of them has a higher accuracy for detecting anemia in children. The method utilized was categorized into three different stages: dataset collection, dataset preprocessing, and model development for anemia detection. The CNN achieved a higher accuracy of 99.12%, while the SVM had the least accuracy of 95.4%. The performance of the models justifies that the non‐invasive approach is an effective mechanism for anemia detection.
