Mid-West Innovator Finalist - Medical Image Mining Laboratories
Medical Image Mining Laboratories (MIMLabs) is a software company poised at the intersection of IT and Healthcare. We have built a proprietary platform incorporating machine learning techniques which allows us to develop applications for online dermatology.
We provide tools for both doctors and patients to use to monitor the patient’s skin between in-office visits. The patient uploads a photo of a skin concern and gets automatic, analytic feedback. In the case of moles, patients get quantitative feedback about the asymmetry, border irregularity, and color irregularity of the mole, thereby automating the recommended monthly self-check for melanoma. In the case of psoriasis, patients get feedback about the area of extent, redness, thickness and scaliness. Vitiligo patients get feedback about the area of depigmentation. Acne patients get a severity score. Wrinkles and hyperpigmentation are quantified.
Our platform includes tele-dermatology capabilities, allowing patients to be treated online. Patients upload a photo, answer a few targeted questions about their concern which supplement their general health questionnaire, pay via credit card, and receive an answer within 24 hours.
