Engineers were able to create a mobile application called VisualDx, which will allow doctors to determine a person's disease from a photo in order to diagnose them. At the moment, the program is tested by qualified specialists, and after successful tests will appear in the access.

VisualDx technology is based on machine learning, dni24.com reports.Thus, the algorithm underlying the program will significantly reduce the list of possible diagnoses for the definition of the skin.

Despite all the progressiveness of this technology, it can not yet be used to accurately determine the disease, since the program is currently capable of issuing only a possible list of patient problems. To familiarize with this list, the user will have to upload his photo into the application and scan it using such technology.
