AI Diagnostic Tool for Ear Pathology (Primary Care ENT Screening)

Ear diseases such as infections, hearing loss, and eardrum damage are common health problems that often go undiagnosed in primary healthcare settings. Early diagnosis is important to prevent complications and ensure appropriate treatment.

AI-powered diagnostic tools analyse images of the ear canal and eardrum captured using digital otoscopes. Deep learning algorithms detect abnormalities such as infections, fluid buildup, and perforated eardrums.
