A device for applying a composition to a skin of a face includes an end effector having a base portion and a protruding portion extending distally from the base portion. The protruding portion has a distal opening. The device also includes a detector arrangement obtaining image data corresponding to an image of an area of the skin through the distal opening and an applicator arrangement applying the composition to a location within the area. The device further includes a processing arrangement receiving and analyzing the image data to determine whether the applicator is aimed to safely dispense the composition to the area and whether a frexel within the area corresponds to a skin artifact, and directing the applicator to selectively apply the composition to the frexel when the applicator is aimed to safely dispense the composition to the area and the skin artifact is detected from the frexel.

Embodiments relate to a skin diagnosis system and method based on image analysis using deep learning, containing: a face recognition model that derives shape or location information of a facial structure by recognizing feature points capable of identifying an individual in an acquired face image; a de-identification model that de-identifies a face image on the basis of the shape or location information of the facial structure such that personal information of an analysis target cannot be identified; and a plurality of artificial neural network models for each of at least one item among diagnoses for wrinkles, pigmentation, pores, erythema, and aging.

A personal care system having a treatment device for applying a treatment to the skin or hair of a user is provided. The treatment device has a camera for taking an image of the skin. The system may include or be in communication with an application programming interface (API) that can process the image. The system or an associated API can recommend the use of treatment regimens or topical products according to information determined from the digital image of the skin.

According to an aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method of determining a tissue property of a body part. The method comprises controlling (101) a shell cuff apparatus to apply a plurality of different pressures to the body part, wherein the shell cuff apparatus at least partially encloses the body part, and wherein the shell cuff apparatus comprises a hard shell portion placed at least partially around the body part and an inflatable cuff surrounding the hard shell portion that is inflated and/or deflated to apply the plurality of different pressures to the body part via the hard shell portion; obtaining (103) radius measurements of a radius of the body part, or changes in the radius of the body part, as the plurality of different pressures are applied to the body part; obtaining (105) pressure measurements of the different pressures applied to the body part; and determining (107) the tissue property of the body part from the radius measurements and the pressure measurements.

The present disclosure relates to a system for remote assessment of a patient, comprising: a first device associated to a physician, a second device associated to the patient, a medical device associated to the patient, wherein the second device is configured to communicate with the medical device, and wherein the medical device is configured to be programmed via the second device, wherein the first device is further configured to communicate with the second device, and wherein the second device is configured to be controlled via the first device, and wherein the second device is configured to acquire data indicative of at least one physiological parameter or of several physiological parameters of the patient. Furthermore, a method for remote assessment is provided.

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed herein for conducting skin analysis for a user. In one aspect, an apparatus for conducting skin analysis is disclosed, comprising: a reflective display operative to reflect an image of a user and to render a graphical user interface; an input interface operative to receive a user input for operating the apparatus, wherein the input interface includes a motion sensor module operative to detect gesture user input; an image capturing module, wherein the image capturing module is operative to capture an image of the user; a processing system configured to receive the captured image from the image capturing module, to receive the user input from the input interface, and to generate a skin profile corresponding to the user's skin condition based on the captured image; and a wireless communication module operative to transmit the skin profile outbound to a computing device, and operative to receive skincare feedback that is generated based on the skin profile from the computing device.

A tactile sensor, computer readable medium, methods of using and manufacturing the tactile sensor, and methods and apparatuses for processing the information generated by the tactile sensor. The tactile sensor includes a planar optical waveguide comprised of a flexible and transparent layer; a light configured to direct light into the optical waveguide; a light sensor or an imager facing the optical waveguide and configured to generate signals from light scattered out of the optical waveguide; and a controller which may be configured to generate an image of the object and characteristics of the object. The waveguide may be configured so that some of the light directed into the optical waveguide is scattered out of the waveguide if the waveguide is deformed by being pressed against the object. A finite element and a neural network are used to estimate mechanical characteristics of the objects.

Service can be offered free of charge and the cost of a skin condition measuring device can be reduced by effectively using data on the occasion of obtaining an analysis result by transmitting measurement data by the skin condition measuring device to a server of a company providing a service of analyzing the measurement data. When a request is made from a contractor client to acquire data registered in a measurement data database, authentication is executed based on a contractor ID input from the contractor client. Additionally, when the measurement data database is searched from a contractor database based on the contractor ID, a search level and an access level are obtained. The contractor client is permitted to search the measurement data database within a range of the search level and the access level.
