Incredible! Google Lens can now detect certain skin conditions

Google Lens has improved its ability to assist in identifying specific medical diseases. Google Lens can now analyze and evaluate potential skin disorders by utilizing the phone’s camera to record photographs of skin rashes or irritations. This feature works similarly to Google Lens’s existing image recognition capability, in that users can select an image from their photo library to employ the new skin condition detection functionality.

The latest skin condition detection feature allows users to identify moles or rashes on their skin

The latest skin condition detection function in Google Lens, as described in a recent blog post on Keyword, allows users to identify moles or rashes on their skin without providing any textual description. Capturing an image within the Google Lens app or selecting an image from the device’s gallery activates this functionality. (mva.la)  Users can browse a horizontal row of search results displaying the names of various skin conditions after capturing or selecting an image. Additionally, a scrollable section below the results shows visually related photographs for further reference.

Although the skin condition identification function in Google Lens is based on Google’s advanced image recognition technology and is not meant to replace expert medical diagnosis, it can provide preliminary insights into the nature of skin concerns before contacting a dermatologist. The feature primarily focused on diagnosing skin disorders may also recognize other maladies such as “a lip bump, a nail line, or hair loss.”

Furthermore, according to the aforementioned Google blog article, the Google Lens app offers a variety of other features in addition to the current health-related advancements. These include helping with math assignments, assisting with product matching while shopping, locating similar recipes at local restaurants, and even translating menus, signs, and posters into over 100 languages.

Google has recently announced plans to integrate Google Lens into Google Bard, allowing users to use photos while writing a Bard prompt. This integration attempts to improve Google’s AI chatbot’s comprehension of user requests. According to Google, users will also be able to use the “Google it” button to navigate to the well-known Google search engine, where they will be able to explore visually comparable products from online vendors.
