Latvian university involved in skin spectroscopy developed technology for remote assessment of skin pathologies and general condition by means of smartphone with spectrally specific illuminator and original software. The technology enables to obtain distribution maps of skin chromophores and fluorophores on the screen of smartphone from the images taken by its own camera under illumination of a specific spectral content. The company is looking for commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Human skin contains several light-absorbing pigments or chromophores; the distribution of their concentrations changes in cases of skin pathologies, and it can be detected by changes in the reflected or fluorescent light at specific spectral intervals. Skin spectroscopy studies allow associating such changes of optical parameters with certain structural changes of the skin. The Latvian university has elaborated software and application for remote assessment of skin pathologies and general condition. It can be exploited for diagnostics of skin pathologies (including tumors) and for monitoring of skin healing after bruises, burns, surgeries, etc. Functioning and clinically approbated smartphone/illuminator prototype sets of three kinds are available for tests.
