Inspiration

The inspiration behind DermAwarewas to provide accessible and instant dermatological diagnosis to anyone, anywhere. We wanted to bridge the gap between individuals and skin health expertise using technology.

What it does

DermAware allows users to take a picture of a skin issue and receive instant diagnosis and information about the condition. Our AI analyzes the image and provides accurate identification of skin diseases, empowering users to take control of their skin health.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

At first, we wanted to do a similar project for bug bites; however, the datasets we found were too small and innacurate to provide relevant and accurate diagnoses. We did however find a dataset for numerous skin diseases that proved to be accurate.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Developing an AI-powered skin disease diagnosis system that provides accurate identification and information about various skin conditions.
  • Bridging the gap between individuals and skin health expertise by making dermatological diagnosis accessible and instant through technology.

What we learned

  • The importance of finding reliable and accurate datasets for training AI models.
  • Adapting our project idea based on the availability and quality of datasets.

What's next for DermAware

  • Continuously improving the accuracy and efficiency of the AI model by refining the training data and algorithms.
  • Expanding the platform to include more features such as treatment recommendations, prevention tips, and connecting users with dermatologists for further consultation.
  • Collaborating with dermatologists and skincare experts to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the system and provide more personalized recommendations.
