Medical photography is failing patients with darker skin

#artificialintelligence

But Jenna Lester, a dermatologist at the University of California San Francisco, was growing frustrated with the poor quality images she'd receive of her dark-skinned patients. It wasn't just a cosmetic issue -- the bad photos meant darker-skinned people weren't getting the same quality of care. So in January, Lester co-authored a paper in the British Journal of Dermatology that gives a step-by-step guide to photographing skin of color accurately in clinical settings. Lester, who herself is Black, said, "I feel like these issues and my life is constantly me saying, 'Hey, what about us?' 'What about these patients?'" Medical photographs are vital to documenting disease in textbooks and journals and training medical students.


Apple's colorful new HomePod mini is on sale for the first time ahead of Black Friday

Engadget

Apple expanded its HomePod mini lineup with three new colors back in October, and now we're seeing the first discount on those new options, plus the classics. B&H Photo has all of the HomePod mini colors, including the new orange, blue and yellow configurations, for $95 each. That's $5 off their normal price and, while a modest discount, it's one of the best we've seen on the tiny smart speaker. The HomePod mini is Apple's main smart speaker now that it discontinued the original HomePod (although the company still supports that speaker with software updates). It's a capable device and, like other Apple accessories, arguably best for those who have many Apple products and use services like Apple Music.
