Abstract

BACKGROUND: Reliable, objective measures to assess facial characteristics would aid in the assessment of many dermatological treatments. Previous work utilized an iOS application-based artificial intelligence (AI) tool compared to the "gold standard" computer-based and a physician assessment on five skin metrics (British Journal of Dermatology, 2013, 169, 474). The AI tool had superior agreement for all skin metrics except pores and subsequently underwent an algorithm update for its pore detection system.
