androgenetic alopecia AI-based mobile app Savin’s grading hair loss severity digital health applications MDhair.co

TLDR The MDhair app accurately assesses hair loss severity with 94% accuracy.

The study tested MDhair.co, an AI-based mobile app, on 30 women with androgenetic alopecia to assess its accuracy in evaluating hair loss severity compared to a human dermatologist. Participants took selfies of their heads, and the AI system used Savin’s grading to analyze hair loss. The AI's assessment matched the dermatologist's diagnosis in 28 out of 30 cases, achieving a 94% accuracy rate. The study found that 20% of participants underestimated their hair loss severity. The results suggest that the MDhair app is a valuable tool for accurately assessing androgenetic alopecia severity, highlighting the potential for AI in digital health applications.
