Abstract
Lessons Learned From Field Deployment of the Hemaapp: A Non-Invasive Hemoglobin Measurement tool
Highlights
The Hemaapp [1] is a smart phone application that measures the hemoglobin level in your finger by using the phone’s built-in camera and flash
The University of Washington team worked with the NGO, Asociacion Red Innova, to test the innovative technology in the field
Participants of the study received an examination with the Hemaapp and an examination with an invasive method to measure hemoglobin, such as the HemoCue or Complete Blood Count
Summary
The Hemaapp [1] is a smart phone application that measures the hemoglobin level in your finger by using the phone’s built-in camera and flash. The hemoglobin measurement is done noninvasively, by placing the finger of the patient on the camera of the phone. The light from the flash allows the camera to record the absorption of light by the blood, while the Hemaapp application analyzes the images to determine the level of hemoglobin.
