The At-Skin camera-like attachment connects to smartphones to scan for any skin-related ailments. Skin is the first line of defense for the body so its health is important to maintain to keep the rest of the body healthy. Borderless Design Consultancy (BDCI) therefore developed a smartphone accessory to scan for signs of skin disease, cancer DNA, tisues, and overall skin health.
The gadget attaches easily to the smartphone's camera module and works like a dermascope to detect abnormalities. Currently, BDCI's new product is in the prototyping stage. The company anticipates a market launch in the near future. If a skin concern is detected, users are prompted to take immediate action and preventative measures to eliminate the risk of a worsening condition.
