Skinive’s accuracy report “Dynamics of the neural network accuracy in the context of modernization of the algorithms of skin pathology recognition” is officially published at Social Science Research Network.
Skinive neural network uses a machine-learning algorithm to calculate the risk rating of skin pathologies. For this study, we used Skinive’s 2020 and 2021 versions trained on 64,000 and 115,000 images respectively. Three validation datasets were used to assess the sensitivity of the algorithm: precancer + cancer, HPV skin pathology, acne, containing 285 images in each set. The specificity has been calculated on a separate validation set containing 6,000 benign neoplasm cases.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the accuracy of Skinive’s algorithm.
We have improved the algorithm to show a statistically significant decrease in the number of neural network errors in determining the risks of skin pathologies.
The results of sensitivity and specificity of the Skinive neural network indicate that the algorithm is highly accurate in detecting various neoplasms and skin diseases. The sensitivity of the Skinive neural network in detecting malignant neoplasms was 89.1% and 95.4% in 2020 and 2021 respectively. The specificity of Skinive’s neural network in determining benign neoplasms was 95.3% in 2020 and 97.9% in 2021. For all skin neoplasms: in 2020, the sensitivity was 95.3%, for specificity 93.5%; in 2021, it was 97.9% and 97.1% respectively.

[AI Generated] What is rhinophyma?
OpenAI NN input: Rhinophyma is a skin disorder characterized by a large, red, bumpy or bulbous nose. It can occur as part of phymatous rosacea. The exact cause of rhinophyma is unknown, but it’s considered a subtype of severe rosacea. This condition is significantly more common in men, especially between the ages of 50 to […]

Types of skin moles and how to know if they’re safe
While for many of us moles are just brown spots on our body we may not pay much attention to, they come in various shapes, sizes, and forms that can tell us important things about our skin health. Understanding all types of skin moles helps us identify any suspicious spots for skin cancer and keep […]

What Are the Fitzpatrick Skin Types?
What your skin type means for you Tanning beds and other artificial tanning machines are harmful for everyone, regardless of skin type. Some research suggests that people who use tanning machines before age 35 years are 75 times more likely to develop melanoma in their lifetime. Your risk of sun damage is also higher if […]
