Summary

Background: Dermatological conditions are a relevant health problem. Machine learning models are increasingly being applied to dermatology as a diagnostic decision support tool using image analysis, specially for skin cancer detection and classification.

Objective: The objective of this study is to perform a prospective validation of an image analysis ML model, which is capable of screening 44 different skin disease types, comparing its diagnostic capacity with that of General Practitioners (GPs) and dermatologists.

Methods: In this prospective study 100 consecutive patients who visit a participant GP with a skin problem in central Catalonia will be recruited, data collection is planned to last 7 months. Skin diseases anonymized pictures will be taken and introduced in the ML model interface, which will return top 5 accuracy diagnosis. The same image will be also sent as a teledermatology consultation, following the current workflow. GP, ML model and dermatologist/s assessments will be compared to calculate the precision, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the ML model.

Autoderm® dermatology search engine (ML model) testing

GP using a smartphone camera will take an image of the skin problem and will use the Autoderm ML interface to upload the anonymized image. The obtained predicted diagnosis will be recorded in case report form.
