Development of a deep learning based framework for classification of Indian venomous snakes integrated with explainable artificial intelligence for primary and emergency care providers

Author summary Snakebite is a major public health concern that disproportionally affects the rural population. Delays in identifying whether a snake is venomous often lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary use of antivenom, or inappropriate referrals. In many rural settings, access to expert snake identification is limited. To address this gap, authors have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) based image classification system that distinguishes snakes into two clinically relevant categories: venomous or non-venomous. Unlike many previous studies that focused on ideal, high-quality wildlife images, our model was trained using real-world photographs captured in emergency situations, including images taken by patients and field responders under variable lighting and background conditions. This approach improves the model’s relevance to practical healthcare settings. The system achieved high accuracy and was further strengthened by visual interpretability tools and expert verification to ensure reliability. By combining AI-assisted classification with human oversight, this work provides a scalable decision-support tool that may improve early triage, rational antivenom use, and surveillance in snakebite-endemic regions
