Project Description
Every year, almost ten billion searches are conducted globally on dermatological concerns, highlighting a significant demand for expert guidance on skin health. With around two billion individuals affected by dermatological issues, many face substantial accessibility challenges, such as a shortage of specialists in certain regions or long waiting times for appointments. This often leads them to seek answers online, resulting in potentially misleading self-diagnoses.
The project aims to address these accessibility challenges by helping users better understand what might be going on with their skin. Glam is a skin health assistant device that uses an innovative image processing technique to image the inner layers of the skin and capture signs of various skin conditions. The accompanying mobile app analyzes these images and provides a list of matching conditions, along with detailed documentation for further research or consultation.

Rayshift™ leverages a simple principle of physics to deliver essential data for accurate tracking. It uses a micro actuator to switch filters in front of a full-spectrum sensor, capturing images of lesions in both UV and visible spectrum wavelengths. Since UV rays can penetrate deeper into the skin, this allows the device to monitor the dermis layer, which is not visible to the naked eye.
It can detect early signs of skin cancer in moles by tracking gradual changes in size, color, border, and asymmetry. Additionally, it provides personalized skincare recommendations and actionable insights for healthier skin by identifying photodamage, including future dark spots, sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma in the dermis, allowing users to take preventive steps before these issues arise.
