Your AI Dermatologist in Your Pocket - Instant Skin Analysis, Expert Care, Anywhere, Anytime

Comment 22

🎯 Elevator Pitch / Tagline

"Your AI Dermatologist in Your Pocket - Instant Skin Analysis, Expert Care, Anywhere, Anytime"

📖 About the Project

Inspiration

The inspiration for Epidexa came from a stark reality: over 900 million people worldwide suffer from skin diseases, yet access to dermatologists remains severely limited, especially in developing countries. We learned that:

  • Only 0.6 dermatologists per 100,000 people exist in low-income countries
  • Average wait times are 30-90 days to see a specialist
  • Many people suffer in silence due to high consultation costs
  • Millions in rural areas have zero access to dermatological care
  • Delayed diagnosis of serious conditions like melanoma leads to preventable deaths

We asked ourselves: "What if we could bring expert dermatology care to anyone, anywhere, instantly?"

The Serverpod Flutter Butler hackathon was the perfect opportunity to build this vision. We wanted to create a true "butler" for your skin health - always available, intelligent, proactive, and trustworthy. A personal health assistant that works even when you're offline in remote areas, respects your privacy with military-grade encryption, and connects you to real doctors when needed.

Our mission: Democratize access to dermatological care and potentially save thousands of lives through early detection and accessible healthcare.

Challenges we ran into

🔥 Technical Challenges

  1. Offline AI Inference
  • Challenge: Running complex medical AI models on mobile devices without internet
  • Solution: Implemented dual approach - TFLite for offline, Ollama API for online with superior accuracy

  • Lesson: Model quantization and optimization were critical for acceptable performance

    1. Image Validation Accuracy

  • Challenge: Users uploading non-skin images (faces, objects, etc.) causing irrelevant analysis

  • Solution: Added pre-validation step using LLaVA-Med to verify image contains analyzable skin

  • Result: Reduced false analyses by ~95%

    1. End-to-End Encryption Architecture

  • Challenge: Encrypting sensitive medical data while maintaining searchability and relationships

  • Solution: Field-level encryption with per-record keys, encrypt content but not relationships

  • Complexity: Had to design custom encryption key management system

    1. Real-time Chat with Encryption

  • Challenge: Building encrypted chat that felt instant

  • Solution: Leveraged Serverpod's streaming capabilities with encryption layer

  • Trade-off: Slight latency vs security - chose security

    1. Multi-AI Coordination

  • Challenge: Coordinating vision model (LLaVA-Med) with language model (OpenBioLLM)

  • Solution: Built orchestration layer that passes vision analysis as context to language model

  • Result: Significantly improved diagnostic accuracy

    1. Cloudinary Integration

  • Challenge: Initially tried to pass base64 images directly to Ollama - hit size limits

  • Solution: Upload to Cloudinary first, download to base64 for Ollama, then discard

  • Benefit: Also provided CDN benefits for image delivery

💡 Design Challenges

  1. UX for Medical Data
  • Challenge: Making complex medical information understandable without oversimplifying
  • Solution: Progressive disclosure - show summary first, details on tap

  • Validation: Beta testers found it much clearer

    1. Trust & Credibility

  • Challenge: Users skeptical of AI medical advice

  • Solution: Always show confidence scores, provide option to consult real doctors, display credentials

  • Philosophy: AI as assistant to doctors, not replacement

🌐 Infrastructure Challenges

  1. Database Migration Strategy
  • Challenge: Evolving schema during development without losing data
  • Solution: Serverpod's migration system saved us - proper versioning and rollback capability

  • Learning Curve: Had to understand Serverpod migrations deeply

    1. Docker Setup for Development
    2. Challenge: Team members with different OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) having setup issues
    3. Solution: Comprehensive docker-compose.yaml with clear documentation
    4. Time Saved: Onboarding reduced from 4 hours to 15 minutes

📅 Time Management

  1. Scope Management
    • Challenge: Initial vision was too ambitious for hackathon timeline
    • Solution: Prioritized MVP features - AI analysis + doctor consult + offline mode
    • Deferred: Video calls, prescription system, insurance integration to future phases

That's amazing work on Epidexa skin diseases solution. Where we work on a new technology Serverpod first time and achieve it with AI, ML and finetuning, and learn how Serverpod can support it. That's a unique solution to solve skin diseases in world, mostly in underpriviledge areas to help them diagnose their skin disease through offline and online mode, and medical departments in loop.
