The ever-increasing population of India has exerted significant pressure not just on the medical infrastructure but has also overwhelmed healthcare workers. This situation has caused the wait times for patients to increase significantly; speeding up this process requires the use of artificial intelligence, especially on the diagnostic side. Dermatology is one branch of medical science where diagnosis can be aided with camera image-based machine learning. Diagnosis of surface-level skin diseases that are easily visible to the naked eye can be made much quicker using image-based machine learning. It will enable doctors to expedite their diagnosis and also reduce the likelihood of an incorrect diagnosis. For the purpose of this paper, such an app called Dermascan has been created to test the real-world applications of this hypothesis.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIndia’s population is increasing at an unprecedented rate. It is well above 1.31 billion people, and this has exerted great stress on every industry, from human resources to medicine [1] . This ever-increasing population has caused the medical infrastructure to become overwhelmed, negatively affecting patient treatment , as there is a lack of healthcare workers. Some outpatient doctors(OPD) from Delhi have claimed that due to this overwhelming demand, they had to diagnose over 750 patients in one day, whereas providing highly accurate diagnoses and treatment would mean that they would be able to address the needs of a maximum of 250 patients a day[2] . Dermatology is one such profession that lacks the needed healthcare workers. This problem gets worse in rural areas where patients have no access or minimal access to dermatologists [3] . One highly qualified dermatologist interviewed for this paper claims that many patients have to travel across cities and even states to access dermatologists, which causes an influx of patients with skin diseases in one particular area, whereas others don’t have a dermatologist, exerting great stress on both their doctors and staff, causing the demand to significantly exceed the dermatologist’s physical ability to tend to patients. The Dermascan app has been created to test the abilities of camera image-based machine learning to decrease the speed of diagnosis. This experiment will allow us to gauge the problems with implementing such systems on a wider scale.  \n2. Literature review  \nThis research area hasn’t received the appropriate amount of attention due to the research on image-based machine learning skin disease detection being sparse.  \n2.1 Evolution of Image-Based Dermatology Diagnostics  \nTraditionally, computer vision-aided systems relied on colour and texture descriptions given by the programmers, but the recent advent of deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has revolutionised diagnostic accuracy. Esteva et [al. in](al. in) their research demonstrated that a single end-to-end convolutional neural network trained on 129,450 photographs could almost reach dermatologist-level performance in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions [4] . Haenssle et al. managed to prove that CNNs can outperform large cohorts of dermatologists.
