Decoding the Skin with AI: A Review of Cutting-Edge Technologies and Applications*

The skin of humans can tell stories through its textures and colors, providing insights into both health and disease. Dermatologists have been interpreting these stories for years, using their expertise to diagnose and treat conditions. They have an ally in this pursuit: artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). In this review, we will delve into the meeting point of AI/ML and dermatology, exploring the applications, challenges and the promising future. Looking ahead, we can imagine a future where emerging technologies drive advancements. In this future, AI will work hand in hand with dermatologists in procedures guided by images, speed up the process of discovering drugs, and empower individuals to keep track of their skin health using AI-powered sensors. This goes beyond upgrading technology. It signifies a revolution in how we perceive and approach skin health. It promises a future where early detection, personalized treatment and preventive measures become the standard. Join us on our journey at the intersection of skin and technology as we witness the beginning of an era in dermatology. With AI shedding light on the secrets of our skin we pave the way for a healthier tomorrow.
