Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To know whether the AI deep learning model achieves a minimum performance of more than 70 percent accuracy and area under ROC validate its feasibility for early detection of leprosy in Indian skin.Timepoint: At 18 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To know whether the model will be able to acheive more than 80 to 90 percentage accuracy and area under curve which would indicate a robust model with strong clinical applicability and further justifying large scale implementationTimepoint: 1 year 6 months
