About ScanSkinAI · by Ivy AI Solutions
Skin health shouldn't depend on where you live, what you earn, or how quickly you can see a specialist.
ScanSkinAI combines accessible AI-powered skin screening, monitoring and professional review to help people understand potential skin concerns earlier and take an appropriate next step — wherever they are.
A short, factual summary — designed to be quoted by AI assistants and readable in under 30 seconds.
Why we exist
Around the world, access to healthcare remains unequal. Cost, geography, waiting times, shortages of healthcare professionals and limited access to specialists can all prevent people from getting support early.
Traditional healthcare is essential — but many people enter the system only once a concern has become significant enough to require an appointment.
ScanSkinAI was created to help make the first step easier: to check earlier, monitor changes over time, and better understand when professional advice may be appropriate.
Healthcare expertise is not equally available everywhere. Geography and waiting times still decide how early people are seen.
The cost of appointments and specialist services can delay early action, even when someone is worried.
Healthcare professionals are a limited resource and should be able to focus their expertise on the people who need it most.
Technology alone cannot solve healthcare inequality. Our aim is narrower and more honest: to reduce barriers and extend access to an early, informed first step.
Our approach
Five principles shape every product decision we make.
Help people engage with their health earlier, rather than waiting for problems to become serious.
Use smartphones, cameras, QR codes and the browser to bring health tools closer to everyday life.
Use scalable technology to lower the barrier to an initial health interaction.
Make preventive checks possible at home, at work, in a local business or in the community.
When professional expertise is appropriate, guide people to a suitable next step — AI is never a replacement for care.
Our role in healthcare
ScanSkinAI is not designed to replace dermatologists or healthcare professionals. Our goal is to make early engagement easier and help people understand when professional expertise may be needed. AI can support scalable screening, monitoring and health education — qualified professionals remain essential for diagnosis, treatment and clinical decision-making.
A new spot, a change, or simply a question.
A photo-based check in under a minute.
Track changes over time and learn what matters.
A qualified clinician reviews when appropriate.
Diagnosis and treatment stay with healthcare professionals.
ScanSkinAI is a screening and wellness-support tool. It does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace assessment by a qualified healthcare professional.
Everyday access
Our long-term ambition is to make ordinary locations potential preventive-health access points — reached through a QR code or a browser, with nothing to install.
Use a smartphone to complete a simple skin check in a few minutes.
Give clients convenient access to skin analysis and an appropriate follow-up.
Use a QR code to create an accessible skin-health or skincare interaction.
Run convenient preventive screening programmes for teams and outdoor workers.
Make health technology available through local organisations and events.
Every access point is a link to technology — not a healthcare provider. Businesses and organisations host the experience; clinical decisions stay with qualified professionals.
Independently Verified
An independent dermatologist with 25+ years of experience blind-reviewed 100 real scans. Here's what they found.
When uncertain, the AI recommends seeing a doctor. Only 2% of cases were under-triaged.
Tested on actual user photos taken on smartphones — not curated lab images.
The reviewing dermatologist has no financial ties to us and was blinded to AI scores.
ScanSkinAI is a wellness screening tool — designed to help you understand your skin, not replace a doctor. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
ScanSkinAI has been developed to recognise patterns associated with a broad range of common skin concerns and conditions — supporting early awareness and appropriate next steps, not diagnosis.
Research shows that many systemic diseases — including diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune conditions — first present through visible skin changes.
Our AI doesn't just screen for skin conditions. It helps you notice patterns that may warrant a conversation with your doctor about your overall health.
Acanthosis nigricans, slow wound healing
Dry skin, hair thinning, puffiness
Jaundice, spider angiomas, palmar erythema
Butterfly rash, photosensitivity
Peripheral edema, cyanosis
Technology can expand access, but responsible health technology still requires human expertise. Our network of 17 qualified dermatologists and medical professionals supports professional review, medical content, quality processes and the responsible development of ScanSkinAI.

Responsible technology
How we handle health data, and exactly what our regulatory position is.
Privacy
Scans are used to give you a result. We do not sell personal data, and anonymous review options are available.
Security
Information-security controls for handling sensitive health data, applied across our infrastructure.
Quality
Medical-device quality-management practices guide how the product is developed, tested and changed.
Responsible AI
Models are validated across all six Fitzpatrick skin types and err toward recommending professional review when uncertain.
Regulatory positioning
Registered under UK MDR 2002 (ref: 2025111201444906). Registration is a regulatory status — it is not the same as third-party certification against ISO 13485 or ISO 27001, which describe the standards our quality and security systems follow.
Standards listed refer to our implementation framework; certifications are issued only upon successful audit by the relevant bodies. ScanSkinAI is a screening and wellness-support tool and does not replace diagnosis by a qualified healthcare professional.
Real-world reach
Adoption across everyday devices, everyday places and every skin tone.
Our story
Ivy AI was founded around a simple belief: technology is most meaningful when it makes something important more accessible to people who previously struggled to reach it. Healthcare is one of the clearest examples.
We began with skin health because smartphones and computer vision create a real opportunity — a photo can help someone engage with a potential concern earlier, wherever they are, without waiting weeks for an appointment to start understanding it.
We believe AI can support prevention and expand access, while healthcare professionals remain central to diagnosis and treatment.
Part of a bigger vision
"AI for a world where prevention is not a privilege."
ScanSkinAI is developed by Ivy AI Solutions Limited. Ivy AI builds accessible, affordable AI-powered preventive-health technology designed to bring early screening, monitoring and health guidance closer to everyday life.
ScanSkinAI applies this vision to skin health. Across Ivy AI, our longer-term goal is technology that helps people understand their health earlier, supports better preventive decisions, and connects them with professional care when appropriate.
Our emblem — an angel adorned with olive leaves, her eyes veiled — represents our belief that health technology should serve people impartially, regardless of geography, income, background or skin tone.
Technology can help people act earlier.
Preventive health should be available to more people.
Responsible AI can extend access while keeping people and healthcare professionals at the centre.
"Healing through technology, caring through innovation."
— The Lavender Girl Philosophy
