Abstract

Access to both reliable health services and experience medical personnel in rural communities in most developing nations of the world are great challenges. These challenges account for the reason rural dwellers in most developing nations of the world depend on traditional therapies in tackling diverse ailments. However, acute inflammation of the respiratory tract caused by bacteria and/or viruses, which lead to pneumonia is usually difficult to manage with traditional therapies. Thus, introduction of automated technology-base-driven approach for early detection of pneumonia becomes crucial. The indispensability of automated early detection of pneumonia necessitates the study reported in this paper, which focused on development of an automated early detection of pneumonia among rural dwellers using a deep convolutional neural network enabled mobile application (mobile app). The development of the mobile app involved five stages, namely data acquisition, data preparation, model training, development of mobile application, and performance evaluation. The results of the comprehensive performance evaluation tests conducted on the developed automated pneumonia early detector mobile app show detection average accuracy, precision, recall or sensitivity and F1 score of 80.8%, 73.3%, 97.3% and 83.6% respectively with average execution time less than 95 ms or 0.095 s. Furthermore, the results of both the validation and comparative performance evaluation tests conducted on the developed automated early pneumonia detector mobile app for this study show that the developed mobile app for this study performed relatively well with similar developed app in surveyed literature.
