Abstract

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that can be life-threatening, particularly for young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Early detection is crucial but difficult because pneumonia signs on X-rays can be subtle. Many AI tools can help diagnose pneumonia, but they often work like “black boxes,” making it hard for doctors to trust their decisions. This study introduces a mobile app that uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect pneumonia from X-rays. To improve transparency, we use Explainable AI (XAI) to highlight the areas of the X-ray that influenced the diagnosis. Additionally, we integrate a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate clear, structured medical reports. Our goal is to create a trustworthy and user-friendly tool for doctors in real-world settings.
