Google Lens Introduces New Feature to Help Identify Skin Conditions

Google’s Image Recognition Tool

Google has announced a new feature in the image recognition tool “Google Lens” that helps the user describe the different conditions that appear in the skin and reach the initial diagnosis closest to it.

And when something strange and unknown appears in the skin, the “Google Lens” camera can be used to photograph the condition, and the tool will analyze the image, search for similar images on the Inte, and display it for the user to determine the most appropriate image and closest to the existing condition, accompanied by information about it from published articles online.

The Lens tool can also identify other parts of the body, so it can be used to describe problems the user is having with their body and to get an initial assessment of the condition before going to the doctor.

And Google knows that many people use the traditional search engine to look up symptoms and diseases using written search terms, but this feature would make the process of searching and getting results quicker and clearer.

Google hasn’t revealed when the new feature will roll out, but it should roll out gradually over the next few weeks.

Information Disclaimer

It has been reported that Google has indicated that the search results shown by the new feature are intended to provide information to the user about the condition and not to provide a final diagnosis, nor are they a substitute for specialized medical advice.

About Google Lens

Google Lens is a tool designed by Google to provide search results by visually analyzing images. It is similar to Google’s search engine, but instead of typing search terms, you can use a smartphone camera or any image to get the information you want.

Two years ago, Google announced a health app called DermAssist, an app specializing in the diagnosis of skin diseases based on artificial intelligence. The app has been approved by the European Union, while it has not yet obtained a license by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the app is still in the phase of test and development.
