Problem
Diagnosing multiple-lesion skin diseases such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is challenging and needs computer-aided support.
Why it matters
Misdiagnosis of skin diseases, including serious cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, can delay proper treatment.
What the AI did
A VGG-16 convolutional neural network using multi-task learning was trained on 16,543 non-standardized clinical images for binary classification of selected skin diseases.
