AI-powered skincare smartphone app created in Novosibirsk

The interface helps assess skin health and identify signs of potential problems

An application has been developed at Novosibirsk State University that uses computer vision technology to analyze skin condition in real time and provide skincare recommendations.

We see a serious problem in the market when women can't decide which products to use, which ones are effective, and whether they help over time. We found a suitable dataset and skin condition models in the public domain, based on which we trained our application to recognize skin conditions.

The application is based on machine learning technology. The developers claim that the interface allows you to assess the condition of the skin and recognize signs of various problems: acne, psoriasis, eczema, warts and ringworm.

If the application detects that your skin is in good condition, it will provide you with recommendations for further care and advise you to use sunscreens, the developer explained. In case of any abnormalities in the skin condition, the application will advise you to consult a specialist for a deeper analysis and elimination of the problem, as the developer explains.

The application works by allowing the user to access their smartphone's camera and turn their face to the screen. After a few minutes, the answer appears on the display.

The developers plan to expand the list of skin conditions that the application can recognize, as well as add care recommendations.

Earlier, scientists from Penza State University created a web application that allows diagnosing coronavirus pneumonia using X-rays of the chest without resorting to computed tomography.
