Medical Image Collection & Annotation:
Detection & Diagnosis of Various Skin Conditions
The Problem
A well-funded healthcare startup based in Dallas, Texas, approached DataForce during the launch of their mobile application that specializes in the detection and diagnosis of skin conditions. In order to train the new algorithm, the healthcare startup needed thousands of skin condition images of varying types to bring this product to market.
