Google’s new Dermatology Assist app identifies skin and nail conditions prompting users to seek a professional medical diagnosis.
Skin conditions affect around 1.9 billion people, and a shortfall of dermatologists means that often conditions have to be diagnosed and treated by general practitioners who may not always be best equipped to identify such conditions.
Help could be at hand, enabling members of the general public to self-identify skin and nail conditions, prompting them to seek specialized medical treatment. Google has announced an AI tool named Dermatology Assist designed to help users potentially spot dermatological conditions based upon images they upload themselves.

Now, there is new evidence that allergy season is increasing in the Bay Area and researchers say climate change may be to blame.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Theodore Chu has used this special collector in Los Altos to measure and record pollen counts. Now, researchers at Stanford have analyzed his data from 2002-19.
“The number of weeks in which pollens are active is going up,” said Bibek Paudel, post doctoral researcher at Stanford School of Medicine. “If it was three months, now it is four to five months and maybe in time with a change in climate, there may be a time when half the year is impacted by pollens.”
