Deep learning–assisted otoscopic screening for paediatric otitis media: feasibility of edge deployment

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the feasibility of using deep learning in otoscopic screening for paediatric otitis media.
• Examined deep learning models for otoscopic images
• Focus on INT8 quantisation for improved deployment
• Potential multi-center validation planned
• Quantisation preserved diagnostic accuracy
• Enhanced feasibility for edge deployment
• Suggests potential to assist clinician triage in paediatric cases
