Abstract

Anaemia, a decrease in total concentration of haemoglobin (Hb) in blood, affects substantial percentage of the population worldwide. Currently, the gold standard for determining the Hb level is the invasive analysis of venous blood. Yet, more and more research groups demonstrate the possibility of non-invasive Hb assessment using white light imaging of tissue sites where Hb is the main chromophore, in particular, fingernails. Despite the promising declarations, non-invasive Hb assessment via RGB-imaging is still poorly used in practice. The main reason is the difficulty in establishing the true accuracy of the methods presented in different works since they are tested on private datasets collected under different experimental conditions. Here we present an open dataset containing RGB images of skin and fingernails for patients with a known level of Hb, thus providing a single benchmark for researchers and engineers in the field, aimed at fostering translation of non-invasive imaging methods to the bedside.
