- Smartphone app test – HemaApp leverages smartphones' cameras and algorithms to screen people for anemia
- Non-invasive testing – While not intended to substitute for blood tests, app initially screens patients non-invasively if further blood testing is needed, saving patients unnecessary pain and discomfort, and preventing infection risks
- Initial test results – Correctly predicted cases of anemia 79% of the time with just smartphone camera and 86% with other light sources, and achieved almost correlation result similar to complete blood test count when used with LED lights
- Next steps – Include wider national and international testing, collecting more data to improve accuracy, and diagnose other blood disorders
