Abstract

Public health in Indonesia faces significant challenges in the early detection of diseases, particularly in areas with limited medical services. Diabetes Mellitus can lead to serious complications, but its detection is often hindered by limited access to invasive and expensive diagnostic methods. This study aims to develop a non-invasive early detection system through nail image analysis using a deep learning method based on EfficientNet-B7 and a rule-based expert system. The system classifies nail images into five categories: Healthy, Beaus lines, Onycholysis, Onychomycosis, and Paronychia. The evaluation results show an accuracy of 97.11% on the test set, demonstrating excellent performance in detecting nail conditions associated with diabetes. The application of the expert system using Forward Chaining and Certainty Factor provides in-depth medical explanations for the model's predictions, making this system a potential solution for diabetes screening that is fast, affordable, and accessible across various healthcare facilities.
