Model Dermatol – Skin Disease

IDerma

About this app

Artificial intelligence scans the provided photograph and instantly assists with identifying your skin problem. The AI provides relevant medical information on skin diseases (e.g., skin rash, wart, hive) and skin cancer (e.g., melanoma).

◉ Capture skin photographs and submit them. The cropped images are transferred, but we do not store your data.
◉ The AI provides links to websites that describe the relevant signs and symptoms of skin disease and skin cancer (e.g., melanoma).
◉ The algorithm can classify images of 186 skin diseases, including common types of skin disorders (e.g., atopic dermatitis, hive, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, onychomycosis, melanoma, nevus).
◉ The use of the algorithm is free and a total of 104 languages are supported.

🞹 Disclaimer
- Please seek a doctor's advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
- The diagnosis of skin cancer or skin disorder based solely on clinical images may miss up to 10% of cases. Therefore, this app cannot substitute for standard care (in-person examination).
- The algorithm's prediction is not the final diagnosis of skin cancer or skin disorder. It serves only to provide personalized medical information for reference

Ratings and reviews

Really interesting and handy app! I've had these spots that appear on my arms that I always forget to bring up to my doctor. I've never been able to find results online for what they could be ('itchy red spots' on arms happens to be very nondescript) app gave me a handful of possibilities with images with percent match and there was one that looked exactly like what I have! Really great to finally have some sort of idea of what may be going on. Will bring it up with my doc next time I see her.

I installed the application on my Android 8.0 phone and took the requested pictures. Every time I either uploaded it or took the picture directly in the app it would immediately revert me back to the license agreement that I had already agreed to. I had granted it the permissions it had asked for so I cannot recommend this app.

Very accurate and helpful!! My wife has a small spot which has been staying for a long time. During Covid pandemic time, we were not able to meet a doctor. However, this app diagnosed it quickly with very high accuracy!! I want to highly recommend this app as a family doctor.
