Abstract

In the bloodstream, erythrocytes stand as vital carriers of oxygen and carbon dioxide, facilitated by the presence of hemoglobin within their structures. However, deviations in erythrocyte size can lead to the formation of Poikilocyte cells, a characteristic feature of conditions like Iron Deficiency Anemia. Variants of Poikilocytoses, such as Degmacyte, Dacrocyte, Schistocyte, and Elliptocyte, denote distinct alterations in erythrocyte morphology, often associated with diminished iron levels crucial for haemoglobin synthesis. In a recent study, the differentiation between normal RBCs and Poikilocyte cells has been addressed through the application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms, leveraging extracted features from digital images of blood smears. This approach offers a more precise means of identifying blood disorders compared to traditional visual inspection, utilizing image analysis techniques to detect deviations in color, size, and statistical parameters. The methodology involves a series of computational steps including preprocessing, segmentation, morphological operations, feature extraction, and classification, all executed within the Matlab environment. Furthermore, to enhance diagnostic capabilities, the system integrates glucose level measurement alongside erythrocyte analysis, transmitting data to a controller which relays results via GSM signal as SMS and LCD display. This comprehensive approach not only automates cell identification and classification but also ensures efficient and accurate analysis, including the automated separation of overlapped cells.
