ASCORAD: The Next-Generation Atopic Dermatitis automatic scoring system
Introduction
Legit.Health proudly introduces a significant advancement in dermatological assessments: the ASCORAD (Automatic SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) system. This innovative tool leverages advanced computer vision algorithms to analyze images captured by smartphones and automatically align them with the SCORAD scoring system.

The ASCORAD has been echoed in recent scientific publications, such as the following article by the National Research Council of Italy, and the Universities of Palermo and Messina:
(...) very promising is the attempt to arrive at an automatic definition of AD severity by using CNNs (...) to achieve a scoring accuracy of erythema, papulation, excoriation, and lichenification severity comparable to that of dermatologists (...). Computational applicative advances in this direction have led to the more recent design of Automatic SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (ASCORAD).
Indeed, objective, reliable, and precise measurement tools are foundational to evidence-based healthcare. The integration of ASCORAD into Legit.Health's suite of tools represents a paradigm shift in how atopic dermatitis is evaluated and managed. By automating the SCORAD process, ASCORAD not only enhances the accuracy and reliability of assessments but also streamlines the workflow for healthcare professionals, setting a new standard for dermatological care.
