Longitudinal dermoscopic study employing smartphone-based image registration

This invention describes a system for tracking changes in skin over time, such as moles or other marks. It works by having a user capture multiple images of their skin using a smartphone camera at different times. Software then aligns these images by finding common features like moles, corrects their colors, and presents them for review, allowing users or clinicians to easily observe how the skin has evolved.

Why it matters: Smartphone camera quality and on-device processing power have significantly improved since 2014. Crucially, machine learning for image analysis and diagnostic correlations has become far more sophisticated and accessible, making the advanced features of this invention more practical.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
