AyurDerm: AI-Powered Skin Diagnosis with Timeless Ayurveda Remedies
🌿 Inspiration
Skin diseases are common but often misdiagnosed due to a lack of accessible dermatological care. While modern medicine provides advanced treatments, Ayurveda has long offered natural and holistic remedies. Inspired by the need for an AI-driven, user-friendly solution that bridges the gap between technology and traditional healing, we created AyurDerm—an app that empowers users with instant skin analysis and personalized Ayurvedic remedies.

- Receive personalized Ayurvedic treatment suggestions based on their condition.
- Learn about skin types and conditions with educational resources.
- Get lifestyle recommendations for healthier skin.
🛠 How We Built It
- Machine Learning Model: We trained a deep learning model on a diverse dataset of skin diseases to enable image-based classification.
- Image Processing: Applied computer vision techniques for accurate skin detection and classification.
- Ayurveda Integration: Developed a structured dataset mapping detected skin conditions to Ayurveda-based remedies.
- App Development: Built a user-friendly mobile interface for seamless image uploads and result display.
