In dermatology, the applications of machine learning (ML), an artificial intelligence (AI) subset that enables machines to learn from experience, have progressed past the diagnosis and classification of skin lesions. A lack of systematic reviews exists to explore the role of ML in predicting the severity of psoriasis. This systematic review aims to identify and summarize the existing literature on predicting psoriasis severity using ML algorithms and identify gaps in current clinical applications of these tools.
