Caption
The Kobe University team used images only of the back of the hand and the clenched fist, avoiding the more individual palm line patterns. This enabled them to enlist the support of 725 patients across 15 medical facilities across Japan, who donated over 11,000 images to train and validate their AI model. In the paper, the team writes: “As data collection and image acquisition were performed across multiple institutions with heterogeneous cameras, lightning conditions and staff, the study reflects real-world variability, thereby strengthening the robustness of the model and supporting its clinical applicability.”
