Jilo Health - AI-Powered Health Screening System

🏥 Overview

Jilo Health is an innovative AI-driven health screening platform designed to enable early detection of critical health conditions using just a smartphone camera. This system combines facial and eye image analysis with advanced deep learning to identify subtle physiological and neurological abnormalities—bringing affordable healthcare screening to India's non-metro elderly population.

Tagline: Remote, low-cost, non-invasive digital health screening for the missing middle.

---

🎯 Problem Statement

India's non-metro elderly population (50+), especially in Tier-2/3 cities, faces critical barriers to healthcare:

• Limited access to medical professionals capable of early disease screening
• Low health awareness and poor doctor visit frequency
• Mobility constraints preventing regular medical checkups
• Financial burden of private healthcare

Many diseases show early visual signs (pallor, facial asymmetry, scleral discoloration) that go unnoticed due to lack of regular screening.

---

✨ Solution: Multimodal AI Health Screening

Captured Signals

• Face Image - Detects pallor, cyanosis, facial asymmetry (stroke risk)
• Eye Image (Close-up) - Analyzes sclera for jaundice, redness, pallor
• Blendshape Features - MediaPipe facial muscle activation patterns for stroke detection

Detected Conditions

1. Anemia - Conjunctival pallor detection with hemoglobin estimation (7-18 g/dL)
2. Jaundice - Scleral icterus and hepatic dysfunction indicators
3. Hypoxia/Cyanosis - Respiratory and cardiac complications
4. Stroke Risk - Facial asymmetry and muscle activation patterns
5. Edema - Heart failure and fluid retention indicators
6. Dehydration - Skin texture and dryness analysis

⚠️ Important Notes

Clinical Disclaimer

⚠️ This is an AI-based screening tool and NOT a substitute for professional medical consultation. All predictions should be verified by qualified healthcare providers. The system is designed for early screening and awareness, not definitive diagnosis.

Model Limitations

• Accuracy: 70.2% for anemia detection (room for improvement)
• Dataset: Trained on 858 labeled images (limited diversity)
• Validation: Requires clinical validation with larger datasets
• Device dependency: Performance may vary across different cameras
