iHealth DR — Retinal Screening as a Service

iHealth DR is a privacy‑preserving SaaS that screens for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) from fundus images. It combines a Vision Transformer (RETFound‑based) backbone with explainability (Grad‑CAM & LIME) and clinician‑ready PDF reports.

Model

ViT initialized with RETFound weights, fine‑tuned for DR severity classification. Robust augmentation, calibration, and thresholding.

Explainability

Grad‑CAM for attention maps; LIME for local feature attribution. Outputs are embedded in the report and UI for clinician review.

Workflow

Users (patients or technicians) capture right & left eye images. The system returns prediction, heatmaps, and guidance. Supports asynchronous rendering of LIME with placeholders.

Privacy & Security

On‑device encryption for sensitive data, no cloud upload by default, role‑based access, and audit logs. Federated learning is planned for multi‑site personalization.

How it works

  1. Capture fundus image (camera or gallery) for each eye.
  2. Backend predicts DR grade using ViT; returns Grad‑CAM and LIME images.
  3. Gemini‑powered explanations summarize findings in clinician‑friendly terms.
  4. PDF report is generated and can be emailed to a registered doctor.

LIME explanation

Integrations

  • Flutter app for capture & results (Android, iOS, Web).
  • Flask backend for prediction, explainability, and PDF generation.
  • Optional Gemini API narratives in the report.

Clinical notes

  • Not a diagnostic device; decision support for clinicians.
  • Supports separate predictions for both eyes.
  • Configurable thresholds and referral recommendations.
