| contents | Anemia affects over one billion people globally and remains severely under-diagnosed in low-resource regions where laboratory blood tests are inaccessible. This paper presents AnemiaVision, an end-to-end web-based system for non-invasive anemia screening from smartphone photographs of the palpebral conjunctiva and fingernail beds. The proposed pipeline fine-tunes a pre-trained EfficientNet-B3 backbone with a redesigned three-layer classifier head incorporating BatchNorm, GELU activations, and high-rate Dropout (0.45/0.35). Training employs four orthogonal accuracy-boosting techniques: TrivialAugmentWide for policy-free image augmentation, RandomErasing for spatial regularisation, Mixup (alpha=0.2) for inter-class smoothing, and cosine-annealing scheduling with linear warmup. Early stopping is governed by peak validation accuracy rather than validation loss to prevent premature termination on high-variance epochs. The deployed Flask application integrates persistent patient-history management backed by PostgreSQL on Render, with an automated database-migration entrypoint ensuring zero data loss across redeploys. Ablation experiments demonstrate that accuracy-first early stopping contributes +1.6% and Mixup contributes +2.8% to final validation accuracy. Overall, the proposed system achieves a validation accuracy of 96.2% and AUC-ROC of 0.98, compared with 44.9% validation accuracy and AUC-ROC of 0.58 from the three-epoch CPU-only baseline. Sensitivity for the anemic class reaches 0.96, making the system suitable as a first-line screening tool for community health workers in rural settings. The system is publicly accessible and source code is openly available. |
