San Francisco: If you are worried about your skin changing color, sores or ringworm etc. then Google can help you in this situation. Now, by searching the image taken with Google Lens, you can find the conditions or diseases associated with it.
So under Google we can take care of our skin health and get rid of any possible problems. Google has announced that Google Lens on iOS or Android can take a photo of your skin and search for bumps on your skin or a scratch on your lips, or changing the color of your nails.
As soon as you send a photo, Lens brings up similar results, images and details that let you know about the situation. But remember that Google emphasizes that the most important thing is to consult a doctor because the information obtained can be incomplete and even wrong. The feature is currently rolled out in the US.
Google has been working on skin detection and disorders for a long time, and in 2021, Google started a regular program of using surveys and image databases for skin, hair, and nail conditions.
According to Google, 288 diseases, disorders and conditions can be predicted in this context, in which three main results can be accurate up to 84%. Despite all this, Google cautions that this is for informational purposes only and the best course of action is to consult a doctor.
