Application for Diagnosis of Detection of Pneumonia Disease for Rural Context

Pneumonia is a respiratory infection resulting in inflammation of the lungs. The causes of this infectious disease could be attributed to viruses, bacteria or fungi. One of the many ways of detecting the disease is by a chest X ray of the patient. The rural population in developing nations have limited access to doctors, medical diagnostic facilities, and hospitals. Hence, diagnosis is delayed resulting in adverse consequences. This paper is an attempt to design and develop a iOS Platform based application app for the preliminary detection of pneumonia using X ray images. The app is based on machine learning which identifies pneumonia, using a chest X ray image of a patient and uses ML Model integration.
