Artificial intelligence provides faster diagnosis for debilitating blistering disease

(University of Groningen) Scientists at the University of Groningen have trained an Artificial Intelligence system to recognize a specific pattern in skin biopsies of patients with the blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. The pattern is characteristic of a specific variant of the disease which can cause scarring of the skin and mucous membranes, and may lead to blindness. The new system is easy to use and is better than most doctors in making the diagnosis.
