AI could spot hair loss patterns with precision
NCT ID NCT07294313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to train and test artificial intelligence (AI) models to diagnose male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and assess its severity. Researchers will use images from a handheld dermoscope along with age and sex data from 400 participants. The goal is to see how accurately the AI can tell if someone has hair loss and how severe it is.
