Skinopathy AI can assess skin conditions on dark skin tones in ways that dermatologist cannot, and is used as an educational tool for physicians.
About
Skinopathy is a Canadian medical AI company that helps dermatology patients get the right treatment at the right time by arming physicians, nurses, and pharmacists with digital health tools that enable them to screen, track, and manage skin conditions more effectively.
Our work is already helping doctors provide better care for more patients; helping individuals control their own health; and helping researchers, including pharma and cosmetics industry, access compliant and interoperable health data.
Key Benefits
Skinopathy AI represents a medical AI breakthrough that directly addresses Skin Tone Bias in dermatology.
Traditional methods often struggle to detect nuances in inflammation and other symptoms on darker skin tones, leading to disparities in healthcare outcomes. For example, it can be difficult for trained and experienced physicians to visually determine the amount of inflammation (whether through injury or chronic skin condition) on a patient with a darker skin tone due to colours blending together.
Skinopathy AI leverages advanced image analysis technology to detect subtle variations in skin conditions that the human eye might miss.
This innovative approach enhances the precision of treatment plans and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Best of all, this technology is available on ANY mobile device without the need for additional hardware, meaning that it can be used by anyone, making it one of the most accessible and advanced AI digital health tools around the World.
The technology's effectiveness rivals that of costly optical instruments - such as Laser Doppler Imaging - making high-quality dermatological care more affordable.
Lastly, Skinopathy AI also fosters innovation in the pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries, driving new insights and solutions in dermatological Research & Development.
Applications
Patients: Skinopathy AI helps to solve Skin Tone Bias in dermatology which means People-of-Colour are better served.
Doctors: Skinopathy AI is akin to X-Rays and MRIs in that it is meant to help doctors get to the correct diagnosis much more quickly and accurately, including Psoriasis, Vitiligo, Eczema, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and Skin Cancer.
Pharma: Skinopathy AI provides next-level Skin Tone dermatological data to R&D teams that can be used to better determine the effectiveness of drugs, validate claims, or find new insights.
Cosmeceuticals: Skinopathy AI helps to better optimize products to certain skin types without sacrificing efficacy of the aforementioned product.
