SUS and Einstein test CUTIS-AI, an AI app that helps identify skin diseases and works offline

Brazil's Health Ministry and Einstein Hospital Israelita developed CUTIS-AI, which uses photos of the lesion and clinical and epidemiological data to support triage of diseases such as sporotrichosis, cutaneous leishmaniasis, leprosy and brown recluse spider bite lesions in primary care. The app, still under study, works without internet and is about 80% accurate, according to Agência Brasil. The study has already analyzed about 1,400 patients and more than 4,000 images. The tool does not replace clinical assessment.
