The massive case workload and a worldwide shortage of dermatologists have forced patients to seek out general practitioners, who tend to be less precise than experts in identifying patient’s conditions.
In a paper (“A Deep Learning System for Differential Diagnosis of Skin Diseases“) and accompanying this blog article, they report that it accomplishes accuracy across 26 skin conditions when presented with pictures and metadata about a patient case.
“We developed a deep learning system (DLS) to address the most common skin conditions seen in primary care,” wrote Google AI software engineer Yuan Liu and Google Health technical program manager Dr. Peggy Bui.
During instruction, the model leveraged over 50,000 differential diagnoses supplied by over 40 dermatologists.
