Remote Assistance for Bone-Fractured Patients using Deep Learning Models

Abstract

Remote diagnosis enables healthcare professionals to evaluate and diagnose patients from a distance using telecommunication technologies, enhancing healthcare delivery by improving accessibility, especially for those in remote or underserved areas. One of the significant sustainability challenges in remote medical diagnostics is offering timely assistance to vulnerable groups like the elderly, disabled, mentally impaired individuals, and wounded military personnel in combat zones. This becomes particularly difficult in emergencies when rapid analysis of medical records is needed, especially if the data is stored on secure blockchain networks. The proposed work addresses these challenges by deploying a comprehensive framework for large-scale analysis, utilizing both document and image classification for dual validation. It integrates advanced techniques such as Inception V3, VGG-16, VGG-19, RESNET-50, and Densenet-201 for bone fracture detection, with Inception V3 achieving the highest accuracy of 95.1%. In addition, a Document Classification Analysis (DCA) method is proposed, which automatically classifies the severity of fractures. Object detection techniques are also introduced for detecting minor fractures using region-based image segmentation, ensuring precise diagnosis even for subtle injuries. This pioneering integration of technologies provides a holistic solution for remote medical diagnostics.
