Abstract

Gastrointestinal diseases are important causes of mortality and expenses around the world. Since conventional methods for diagnosing gastrointestinal problems are expensive and invasive, alternative medicine techniques emerge as a possibility for helping physicians in this type of diagnosis. Hence, this work proposes a computer aided diagnosis system based on iridology for early detection of gastrointestinal diseases. The proposed system employs image processing and machine learning algorithms to identify gastrointestinal disorders in iris images. The evaluation of the system uses 100 iris images showing a maximum accuracy of 96% and a predictive capacity of 99%. This work shows that alternative medicine techniques have potential for diagnosing problems associated to gastrointestinal disorders.
