Model Dermatol – Skin Disease

Iderma

About this app

Artificial intelligence can analyze the provided photograph and instantly help find information about your skin problem. The algorithm provides relevant medical information on skin diseases (e.g., warts, shingles), skin cancer (e.g., melanoma), and other skin rashes (e.g., hives). In the 2022 Stiftung Warentest, a German consumer organization, this app received satisfaction ratings only slightly lower than paid telemedicine dermatology services.

- Please capture skin photographs and submit them for analysis. The cropped images will be transferred, but we will not store your data.
- The algorithm provides links to websites that describe the relevant signs and symptoms of skin diseases and skin cancer (e.g., melanoma).
- With the ability to classify images of 186 skin diseases, the algorithm covers common types of skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, hives, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, warts, onychomycosis, shingles, melanoma, and nevi.
- The use of the algorithm is FREE.

However, please keep in mind the following disclaimer:
- This app is an image search tool, NOT A DIAGNOSTIC APP. The disease names provided in the linked content are not final diagnoses of skin cancer or skin disorders.
- This app is not a medical device and has not been approved by the FDA.
- Although the content is informative, please CONSULT A DOCTOR before making any medical decisions.

We utilize the "Model Dermatology" algorithm. The classifier's performance has been published in several prestigious medical journals. Numerous collaborative studies have been conducted with various hospitals internationally, including Seoul National University, Ulsan University, Yonsei University, Hallym University, Inje University, Stanford, MSKCC, and Ospedale San Bortolo.

Ratings and reviews

I tried taking the pictures with and without flash, and in a well lit area. The pictures would look great until I added them, then they would become dark and blurry. The few pictures I could use were suggested to possibly be several different things, which I could have just googled and found out the same. So, this app didn't give me any information I didn't already have.

Shockingly accurate. Not gonna go into too much detail, but I had to go to urgent care for a spreading rash, so I downloaded a few apps like this one to see how close they would get to my doc's diagnosis. The app gave me 5 suggestions, most of which were very similar to what it turned out to be, but the top suggestion was dead on. So yeah, if you're curious as to what your skin condition might be, this is a good starting place.

The app won't let me take any more photos!! Every time I take a photo of my "mark" and click on "Ok", it just goes to back to the homepage, the WiFi symbol flashes, and I have to start all over again!!! But then the same thing keeps happening - it's very annoying because obviously I'm worried about this mark.....
