Supervised deep learning models have proven to be highly effective in classification of dermatological conditions. These models rely on the availability of abundant labeled training examples. However, in the real-world, many dermatological conditions are individually too infrequent for per-condition classification with supervised learning.

Objective: To evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool that assists with diagnoses of dermatologic conditions.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multiple-reader, multiple-case diagnostic study developed an AI-based tool and evaluated its utility.
Skin conditions affect 1.9 billion people. Because of a shortage of dermatologists, most cases are seen instead by general practitioners with lower diagnostic accuracy.
