description <b>Background:</b> Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease significantly impacting global health. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management, but traditional methods often rely on subjective assessments. This study evaluates the efficacy of a deep learning model implemented through a no-code AI platform for diagnosing and grading knee OA from plain radiographs. <b>Methods:</b> We utilized the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) dataset, comprising knee X-ray data from 1526 patients. The data were split into training (47.0%), validation (26.5%), and test (26.5%) sets. We employed a ResNet101 model on the DEEP:PHI no-code AI platform for image analysis. The model was trained to classify knee OA into five grades (0–4) based on the Kellgren–Lawrence scale. <b>Results:</b> Our AI model demonstrated high accuracy in distinguishing between different OA grades, with particular strength in early-stage detection. The model achieved optimal performance at 20 epochs, suggesting efficient learning dynamics. Grad-CAM visualizations were used to enhance the interpretability of the model’s decision-making process. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study demonstrates the potential of AI, implemented through a no-code platform, to accurately diagnose and grade knee OA from radiographs. The use of a no-code AI platform such as DEEP:PHI represents a step towards democratizing AI in healthcare, enabling the rapid development and deployment of sophisticated medical AI applications without extensive coding expertise. This approach could significantly enhance the early detection and management of knee OA, potentially improving patient outcomes and streamlining clinical workflows.
