Peripheral blood smear examination is a crucial step in the assessment of blood cell types following automated complete blood count analysis. While manual microscopy is known for its precision, it is time-consuming and demands expertise, resulting in a 3–4-hour turnaround time in healthcare settings. To address this challenge, computerized automation, particularly employing deep learning techniques, emerges as a promising solution offering both speed and costeffectiveness. Nonetheless, the success of these systems coverage upon the presence of well-annotated datasets. This research contributed to the field by introducing the Bio-Net dataset which is a large collection of peripheral blood smear images of healthy individuals annotated specifically as training and test sets for the purpose of blood cell counting and detection. A specialized version of the dataset designed for White Blood Cell (WBC) classification was also included as an extension of the dataset to meet clinical requirements. Where the dataset’s usage with this variant allows classification of WBCs using the Bio-Net dataset and the YOLO object detection algorithm for automatic detection and classification of WBCs, RBCs and platelets with an updated configuration file to assist in improving accuracy and generalize the Bio- Net dataset. A repeating trend of object detection and tracking has been shown over the years with the introduction of techniques like real-time hand tracking, image classification at high speed and analysis of facial features that quickly identify emotions and heartbeats. These and similar systems are now being improved in terms of their accuracy for medical images of various kinds. Bio-Net datasets may find their use in a variety of these areas and help the future creation of systems such as those mentioned. A huge milestone has been achieved in the field of medical research with the synergistic combination of AI-based detection methods with this dataset, as it provides an easier, faster, and more cost-effective way to process and analyze biodata that helps deepen our knowledge of blood cell composition. Such advancement also has ramifications in the clinical sphere where prompt and accurate blood cell analysis is key for making timely diagnoses as well as treatment determinations. To conclude, the Bio-Net dataset coded as AI-based detection ways to provide more precise understanding with biological analysis got from supplementary blood smear studies.
