Diverse Jaundice Eye Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains web-scraped images of human eyes, categorized into jaundice (scleral icterus) and healthy eyes.

A primary goal of this dataset is to mitigate skin tone bias often found in medical imaging. Initial web searches for jaundice disproportionately returned images of lighter skin. To build a more clinically representative dataset for fairer AI training, specific searches (like "jaundice in black people") were used to ensure the inclusion of darker skin tones.
