AI+ Tool and Solution Catalogue

ScanSkinAI is a mobile AI triage and documentation tool for everyday skin and wound problems. Using a standard smartphone camera, frontline staff or citizens can capture images of minor rashes, cuts and irritations and receive instant, plain-language guidance (self-care, pharmacy products, see GP, or consider specialist).

For public services, ScanSkinAI helps reduce avoidable specialist visits and low-value claims, supports earlier self-care, and shortens decision time for frontline staff in clinics, care homes and community programmes. Each scan is documented with photos, risk assessment and advice, creating an auditable record that can be shared with healthcare teams when escalation is needed.

Dashboards summarise case types, severity and referral patterns, giving departments better visibility of community skin and wound issues and supporting planning, quality assurance and resource allocation.

ScanSkinAI can be used in public clinics, community health centres, elderly homes, rehabilitation services and NGO programmes as a first-line triage tool for everyday skin and wound problems.

Frontline staff or citizens use a smartphone to capture images, and the system provides instant guidance on whether the case can be self-managed, handled with pharmacy products, seen by a GP, or needs escalation to specialist care.

Improvement to public services – Reduces unnecessary specialist and A&E visits by giving a safe “first step” before referral. – Shortens decision time for nurses and community workers, especially in elderly homes and outreach services, where access to doctors is limited. – Standardises documentation with photos, risk level and advice recorded for every case, improving continuity of care and communication with Hospital Authority / Department of Health services when referral is required. – Provides dashboards on case mix, severity and referral patterns across sites, supporting service planning, quality assurance and targeted public-health interventions.Costs and benefits – Costs are mainly a per-user or per-site software licence; the solution runs on existing smartphones, so no high-cost hardware is required. Training is short (typically under one hour for frontline staff). – Benefits include lower utilisation of high-cost specialist services, fewer avoidable transport and escort arrangements for frail patients, time saved for nurses and administrators, faster reassurance for citizens, and better data to support evidence-based resource allocation and policy decisions.
