紫外线指数今天寻求通过Web技术降低皮肤癌率
今天紫外线指数推出了免费的紫外线预报服务帮助people track the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
“Over three million people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year and many of these cases could have been prevented with proper sun protection,” says Stephen Sandecki, Principal at UV Index Today, in a news release. “We are helping educate people on the dangers of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and what times exposure should be limited or avoided all together.”
The今天紫外线指数网站提供免费预测美国超过4万个城市。预测包括实时紫外线指数，目前的每日每小时紫外线指数和未来五天的每小时预测。“每个人都喜欢户外活动，但很多人都没有意识到无保护的阳光曝光的危险，”Sandecki先生补充道。“我们将降低皮肤癌症率的唯一方法是通过紫外线辐射曝光的危险教育。”
该公司表示，它正在建立教育资源的早期阶段，以了解紫外线辐射，紫外线指数和UV保护方法。2022年中期UV指数今天计划将其预测扩展到北美的其他国家，目标是在2023年中期全球覆盖。
Miiskin增加了基于AI的面部跟踪;第一个皮肤健康应用程序为全身管理皮肤状况
Miiskin, a digital health platform helping more than 650,000 people worldwide routinely monitor their skin, launched AI-assisted face-tracking. This feature allows users, alongside their dermatologists, to manage and follow the evolution and treatment of skin conditions affecting their faces, such as acne and rosacea, as well as receding hair.
该公司表示，对面部皮肤状况的潜在影响可能很大。痤疮是美国最常见的皮肤状况，每年影响高达5000万美国人。超过400万人每年接受肉毒杆菌或类似治疗。作为最暴露于紫外线和环境元素的皮肤的面积，面部是皮肤敏感性最常见的部位，并且高度容易出现皮肤损伤。基底细胞癌，最常见的皮肤癌，通常发生在头部，耳朵，鼻子和颈部。
使用Miiskin应用程序，用户捕获它们的脸部一致的多角度图像，以遵循皮肤状况和治疗的进展，他们正在与皮肤科医生进行解决。牢固地存储在Miiskin应用程序上的图像可用于跟踪皮肤状况的进展以及它们如何随着治疗方式视觉改善。
此功能标志着Miiskin的重要里程碑，因为该应用程序将帮助用户在脸上监控和管理皮肤状况。Miiskin一直处于患者皮肤自我检查中机器学习和计算机视觉的最前沿，以及面部跟踪加入了一套解决与皮肤健康跟踪的挑战。例如，该应用程序的流行自动皮肤成像工具私下并自动采用皮肤的全身照片，允许湿疹和牛皮癣等皮肤状况进行更好的管理。
Miiskin was initially launched for the fight against skin cancer; Miiskin allows users to take photographs of moles over time and compare them to help identify changes. In addition, wide area skin photos compared over time allow for the identification of new marks or moles appearing on the skin. Changes to existing moles or the appearance of new marks or moles can be an early warning sign of skin cancer, and so helping people identify such changes and encouraging them to seek early help from a dermatologist is important. Lastly, Miiskin’s Mole Sizing features help measure moles and compare size over time, simplifying the process and improving accuracy of the self-exam process. Skin cancer will remain a key application for the Miiskin app.
虽然Miiskin可在iOS和Android上使用，但新的面部跟踪功能首先向IOS用户推出，兼容IOS11及更高版本。Miiskin Premium和Miiskin Pro（皮肤科医生/提供商）使用面部跟踪。
