A novel process to extract important information from invisible video captured by smartphone

Hemoglobin (HB) is an important protein molecule in blood. Traditionally, hemoglobin level measurement is accomplished through invasive way [1] in clinics. But, non-invasive techniques are becoming more popular nowadays, though its accuracy is not up to the mark. The conventional invasive approaches need the blood sample from the patient which is quite inappropriate always for premature infants, aging population, sickle cell patients, anemia patients, and pregnant women. To solve the HB measurement issues, we have chosen the smartphone, an essential tool in mHealth technology due to its multi-faceted aspects [2]. Many researchers used the high-end spectrometer, hyperspectral camera, and optical devices for hemoglobin level measurement noninvasively, those devices are not available and expensive. To overcome expense and mobility issues, in this poster, we propose a smartphone-based non-invasive HB measurement tool where we capture the video image HSV values with three channels at 30 frames per second. Based on the capabilities of smartphones, this research output can make the remarkable change in resource-limited countries.
