Introduction

Dermatology has taken a giant leap forward with the introduction of Legit.Health's innovative ALEGI (Acne LEsion Grading Index). Leading researchers specializing in deep learning and neural networks have collaborated with renowned dermatologists to create this advanced algorithmic tool, designed to empower the next generation of medical professionals. This innovative solution integrates cutting-edge technology with expert medical insights, offering a robust platform for dermatological diagnosis and treatment planning.

It's widely known that objective, reliable, and precise outcome measures are key to the practice of evidence-based medicine. In the case of acne, is especially hard and tedious to apply the most accepted scoring systems, as they require the doctor to count lesions manually.

That's why Legit.Health has developed this tool that counts the number and density of acne lesions. Thanks to this, measuring the severity of acne is a task that only takes seconds.

The following screen capture of the Legit.Health tool shows a real-life use of the scoring system for acne. This can be used both on mobile and desktop.
