DermAi: AI-Powered Skin Disease Detection
Inspiration
Skin diseases affect millions worldwide, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. However, limited access to dermatologists leads to delays in detection. Inspired by the potential of AI in healthcare, we set out to develop DermAi, an intelligent tool that assists in the rapid and accurate classification of skin conditions, making diagnosis more accessible and efficient.
🛠How We Built It
- Machine Learning Model: We used the Random Forest algorithm for its robustness in handling complex datasets and reducing overfitting.
- Dataset: We trained our model on a dermatology dataset containing clinical features and images.
- Web Interface: A user-friendly Streamlit application allows users to upload images and receive real-time predictions.
- Tech Stack: Python, scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, and Streamlit.
What We Learned
- Machine Learning in Healthcare: We explored how AI can aid dermatological diagnostics.
- Data Preprocessing: Handling imbalanced datasets, feature selection, and normalization were critical for improving accuracy.
- Model Deployment: Implementing a real-time prediction system required integrating ML models with web frameworks.
Challenges We Faced
- Data Availability: Finding diverse, well-annotated datasets was a challenge.
- Model Optimization: Balancing accuracy and computational efficiency required extensive tuning.
- User Interface: Making the system both powerful and intuitive for non-technical users.
Future Scope
We aim to enhance DermAi by integrating deep learning (CNNs) for better image-based classification, expanding the dataset, and refining the UI for a seamless user experience.
With DermAi, we take a step toward AI-driven healthcare solutions, making dermatological diagnosis faster, smarter, and more accessible.
