Thesis Overview

The project titled "Development of a Mobile Application for Dermatological Self-assessment and Remote Consultation" aims to address the increasing need for accessible and convenient dermatological services through the use of mobile technology. Dermatological conditions are common among the population, and timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing these conditions effectively. However, many individuals face barriers such as long waiting times, limited access to dermatologists, and high costs associated with in-person consultations. The mobile application proposed in this project seeks to provide a solution by enabling users to conduct self-assessment of dermatological conditions from the comfort of their homes. Users can capture images of their skin conditions using the app, answer specific questions related to their symptoms, and input relevant medical history. The application will then utilize artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the images and information provided by the user to generate preliminary assessments. In addition to self-assessment capabilities, the mobile application will also offer remote consultation services with dermatologists. Users can schedule virtual appointments with certified dermatologists through the app, allowing for real-time interaction and personalized recommendations. This feature aims to bridge the gap between patients and dermatologists, particularly in regions with limited access to specialized healthcare services. The research will involve the design and development of the mobile application, incorporating user-friendly interfaces, secure data transmission protocols, and accurate diagnostic algorithms. Usability testing will be conducted to assess the effectiveness and user satisfaction of the application. Furthermore, collaborations with dermatologists and healthcare professionals will ensure the medical accuracy and reliability of the self-assessment and consultation functionalities. Overall, the project "Development of a Mobile Application for Dermatological Self-assessment and Remote Consultation" seeks to leverage mobile technology to enhance access to dermatological services, improve early detection of skin conditions, and promote proactive healthcare management. By empowering individuals to monitor their skin health and seek professional guidance remotely, the mobile application aims to revolutionize the delivery of dermatological care and contribute to better health outcomes for users.
