Google's new AI-powered dermatology assist tool will identify skin conditions
Tech giant Google has come up with an AI model that can identify skin conditions from descriptive text and image input. As bizarre as Google getting into the medical sector sounds, if this tool can actually do what Google claims, it could possibly identify fatal skin conditions or even early stages of skin cancer. How Google's dermatology assist tool will work When this dermatology tool pilot launches later this year, users will be able to, using their phone's camera, upload images of their skin, nail or hair to the web application. Then the user will be asked to answer some common questions like what symptoms they have, for how long they are facing these issues, etc. After receiving the information and images of the condition from different angles, Google's AI model will analyse the input and cross-check with predefined 288 skin conditions and give users few possible matching conditions.
