Summary
This study tested whether an artificial intelligence tool called Legit Health Plus can help doctors track the severity of chronic skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema from a distance. 160 participants used a smartphone app for 6 months to take photos of their skin and answer symptom surveys. Researchers then evaluated how useful and easy the tool was for both patients and doctors.
