Bridging the
Global Care Gap.
For decades, medical dermatology and artificial intelligence shared a huge, hidden flaw: they were built almost entirely for lighter skin types.
Globally, less than 3% of public dermatological AI datasets represent dark or melanin-rich skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). Because of this bias, standard AI models miss the mark on darker skin, leading to wrong answers, missed medical evaluations, and delayed care.
At the same time, real doctors are extremely hard to reach. In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are only 0 to 3 dermatologists for every 1 million people. Millions of people have to travel for hours, spend huge transport money, and wait in endless lines just to show a doctor a small spot on their face.
Desperate for quick answers, up to 77% of people turn to unregulated, open-market cosmetic creams containing harsh steroids and mercury—ruining their skin barrier further.
We are replacing dangerous product trial-and-error with personalized matching.

From 40k+ Real Images to Accurate Precision
A basic single photo scan is never enough. Real skin has different needs on different parts of the face—your forehead might be oily, your eyes might have dark circles, and your cheeks might have post-acne marks.
To capture true human skin diversity, our team mapped tens of thousands of real-world skin photos. We built a 10-Zone Facial Analysis System. By dividing the face into 10 distinct zones and tracking 24 specific conditions across 6 main groups, our model calculates 190 precision biomarkers—delivering skin insights in seconds.
