The presence of iToBoS on social networks

1/10/2022.

iToBoS project is constantly active, not only in the development of the total body scanner and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, but also attending conferences, presenting the project in specialized congresses, conferences, or publishing scientific articles, among others. 

The SaMD (software as medical device) framework

28/09/2022.

The new regulatory framework for AI / ML-enabled SaMDs is driven by two main concepts.

iToBoS project presented at Artificial Intelligence Doctoral Academy (AIDA)

27/09/2022.

iToBoS participated in Artificial Intelligence Doctoral Academy AI Excellence Lecture Series via online on September 27, 2022.

Medical Regulations in USA for software and artificial intelligence

26/09/2022.

It is not clear the allocation in U.S.A. of Clinical Decision Support systems into the category of SaMD (software as medical device).

iToBoS project presented at ESMAC 2022

25/09/2022.

iToBoS participated in ESMAC 2022 conferences, that took place in Dublin, Ireland, from 19 to 24 of September 2022.

A new objective skin colour scale for research and clinical practice

19/09/2022.

A collaboration of scientists from the UK, USA, Australia, and France have proposed a more objective and detailed way to describe the huge variety of skin colour, called the Eumelanin Human Skin Colour Scale (EHSCS) and measured with a simple colourimeter.

Requirements for AI education for medical professionals

16/09/2022.

The complexity and volume of data in healthcare and increased demands for personalised care means that artificial intelligence (AI) will be increasingly incorporated into medical workflows.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

14/09/2022.

CNN or ConvNet is a type of ANN that has been widely used to analyse images and sound signals. MLP is not suited to image and sound signals because the trainable parameters are large.

Neural Network based approaches for non-contact dermoscopy: a brief primer

12/09/2022.

Continuing our blog with introduction to machine learning for iToBoS, we present here a general overview of neural networks. Starting from basic definitions of important concepts, we will give a primer as meant for beginner. We keep discussions only to various types of neural networks. The functionality is also elucidated here.

The optical challenge of the total body scanner

9/09/2022.

The engineering tasks of the iToBoS project can be divided into two main groups. On the one hand, the design and construction of the total body scanner, that is the hardware. On the other hand, the design and implementation of the data processing and artificial intelligence software that will analyse all the information (skin images and clinical data) and generate a comprehensive output for the clinicians.
