AI is transforming modern healthcare every day. AI applications are vast, spanning the scope of healthcare, from enhancing tuberculosis detection to advancing the diagnosis of breast cancer. But Google aims to use it for helping users learn about skin conditions, and whether or not they have them, according to a new preview shared in a blog post from Google's I/O team. Notably, Google wants to roll out diagnostic AI for skin conditions on smartphones, which could allow every smartphone owner to have an idea of what their diagnosis might be.
