Inspiration

In the U.S., patients wait an average of 34–36 days to see a dermatologist, but many urgent skin conditions can worsen rapidly and require immediate attention. This mismatch between long wait times and the time‑sensitive nature of certain dermatologic issues puts patients at risk for delayed diagnosis and more severe disease.

What it does

DermaLens was designed to be an all-in-one app to target any concerns regarding the skin. The app uses AI to help provide individuals with a diagnosis of potential derma-related issues by scanning potential problem areas. The DermaLens will then recommend product and treatment options tailored to the diagnosis, giving ingredient recommendations and product options for individuals without needing to visit in-person. Additionally, DermLens provides available local dermatologists options specifically based on clinics specialized for their diagnosis and will accept the individual’s insurance.

How we built it

First we collaborated with each other to fully develop our idea and all the features we wanted to include in our prototype. Then, we used Figma to create the prototype of our app with functional buttons, scrolling, and elements. We made sure to prioritize a user interface that is both user-friendly and appropriate for our topic.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge we faced was the limited time provided to create a functioning prototype. This forced us to prioritize more central features in our prototype, while sacrificing smaller, less relevant features.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Develop fully interactive prototypes as first-time Figma users that targets a relevant issue with a plausible and user-friendly solution.

What we learned

We learned about the power of Figma as a prototyping tool and the importance of effective time-management.

What's next for DermaLens

DermaLens will work to integrate itself among the national population and gain the support of dermatologists. We also plan to increase personalization to further the accuracy of diagnosis and increase customer satisfaction.
