New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) An artificial intelligence-driven smartphone app has been launched by AIIMS-Delhi along with Nurithm labs, a start-up, to address the access and accuracy problems in clinical diagnosis of dermatological diseases, including skin and oral cancers. DermaAId, the skin disease diagnostic solution, uses a machine-learning AI-driven algorithm encapsulated in a mobile app and transforms a basic smartphone with a 1 MP camera into a potent tool in skincare, Dr Somesh Gupta, a Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at AIIMS, told PTI. For general practitioners, it is a clinical decision support tool to augment their capability and understanding of skin conditions. This is particularly relevant since studies have revealed that diagnostic accuracy among general practitioners vis-à-vis dermatologists is 40 to 50 per cent, Dr Gupta pointed out. "The technology behind the app is deceptively simple. A doctor takes a photo of lesions on a patient's body and uploads them to the cloud server. Within 15-30 seconds, the app provides possible disease conditions based on machine analysis of images," he explained.
