Use environment

The device is intended to be used in the setting of healthcare organisations and their IT departments, which commonly are situated inside hospitals or other clinical facilities.

The device is intended to be integrated into the healthcare organisation's system by IT professionals.

Operating principle

The device is computational medical tool leveraging computer vision algorithms to process images of the epidermis, the dermis and its appendages, among other skin structures.

Body structures

The device is intended to use on the epidermis, its appendages (hair, hair follicle, sebaceous glands, apocrine sweat gland apparatus, eccrine sweat gland apparatus and nails) and associated mucous membranes (conjunctival, oral and genital), the dermis, the cutaneous vasculature and the subcutaneous tissue (subcutis).

In fact, the device is intended to use on visible skin structures. As such, it can only quantify clinical signs that are visible, and distribute the probabilities across ICD categories that are visible.

Explainability

For visual signs that can be quantified in terms of count and extent, the underlying models not only calculate a final value, such as the number of lesions, but also determine their locations within the image. Consequently, the output for these visual signs is accompanied by additional data, which varies depending on whether the quantification involves count or extent.

  • Count. When a visual sign is quantifyed by counting, the device generates bounding boxes for each detected entity. These bounding boxes are defined by their x and y coordinates, as well as their height and width in pixels.
  • Extent. When a visual sign is quantifyed by its extent, the device outputs a mask. This mask, which is the same size as the image, consists of 0's for pixels where the visual sign is absent and 1's for pixels where it is present.

The explainability output can be found with the explainabilityMedia key. Here is an example:

Complete Description:

The device is a computational software-only medical device leveraging computer vision algorithms to process images of the epidermis, the dermis and its appendages, among other skin structures. Its principal function is to provide a wide range of clinical data from the analyzed images to assist healthcare practitioners in their clinical evaluations and allow healthcare provider organisations to gather data and improve their workflows.

The generated data is intended to aid healthcare practitioners and organizations in their clinical decision-making process, thus enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of care delivery.

Critical Usage Information

The device should never be used to confirm a clinical diagnosis. On the contrary, its result is one element of the overall clinical assessment. Indeed, the device is designed to be used when a healthcare practitioner chooses to obtain additional information to consider a decision.

Principle of Operation​

The device operates as a cloud-based API (Application Programming Interface) that processes digital images of skin structures using artificial intelligence algorithms, specifically deep learning technologies, to provide clinical decision support to healthcare professionals.

Core Operating Principles:

  1. Image Reception: The device receives digital images of skin structures through a REST API interface
  2. Image Quality Assessment: Images are first assessed for quality and domain appropriateness
  3. AI Processing: Validated images are processed through multiple deep learning models:
    • Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture for ICD category recognition
    • Object detection models for counting clinical signs
    • Semantic segmentation models for extent measurement
    • Image recognition models for intensity quantification
  4. Output Generation: The device generates structured output in HL7 FHIR® format containing:
    • Probabilistic distribution across ICD-11 categories
    • Quantitative measurements of clinical signs (intensity, count, extent)

Mode of Action:

The device's mode of action is purely informational and analytical. It does not have pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic effects. The device:

  • Analyzes visual patterns in digital images using trained neural networks
  • Compares observed patterns against learned representations from validated training datasets
  • Generates quantitative and probabilistic outputs based on mathematical computations
  • Provides information to support healthcare professionals' clinical decision-making

The device does not make autonomous decisions, does not directly interact with patients, and does not replace the clinical judgment of healthcare professionals.

The device leverages deep learning algorithms trained on extensive datasets of dermatological images to analyze skin lesions and conditions. The AI-based processing enables pattern recognition and quantitative assessment of clinical signs, providing objective measurements to support clinical decision-making.

Design Summary​

Software Architecture: The device consists of:

  • HTTP API for secure data transmission
  • Image Processors utilizing deep learning models
  • Orchestrator for workflow management
  • Report Builder for generating structured clinical output

Version: 1.1.0.0

Software Safety Classification (IEC 62304): Class B

Main Components:

  • JSON data processing
  • RESTful API interface
  • Deep learning inference engine
  • Clinical report generation system

Detailed architecture is documented in R-TF-012-029 Software Architecture Description.

Variants and Models​

The device does not have any variants. It is a unique model with a single configuration.

Medical Conditions Addressed​

The device addresses medical conditions pertaining to ICD-11 code 14 - Diseases of the skin.

ICD-11 Categories

As mentioned, the image-based recognition processor provides an interpretative distribution of probabilities of visible ICD categories. In other words, the device does not provide a true positive or true negative for any specific condition, like diagnostic tests. On the contrary, the device provides the full list of ICD categories and the probability distributed across all the categories.

More information regarding ICD categories can be found in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision.

Indications for Use

The device provides two types of information to healthcare professionals:

  1. Severity Measurement: quantifiable data on the intensity, count and extent of clinical signs such as erythema, desquamation, and induration, among others
  2. Diagnostic Support: interpretative distribution representation of possible International Classification of Diseases (ICD) categories that might be represented in the pixels content of the image

Contraindications:

  • Skin structures located at a distance greater than 1 cm from the eye, beyond the optimal range for examination.
  • Skin areas that are obscured from view, situated within skin folds or concealed in other manners, making them inaccessible for camera examination.
  • Regions of the skin showcasing scars or fibrosis, indicative of past injuries or trauma.
  • Skin structures exhibiting extensive damage, characterized by severe ulcerations or active bleeding.
  • Skin structures contaminated with foreign substances, including but not limited to tattoos and creams.
  • Skin structures situated at anatomically special sites, such as underneath the nails, requiring special attention.
  • Portions of skin that are densely covered with hair, potentially obstructing the view and hindering examination.

Warnings:

Critical Understanding:

The device outputs a probabilistic distribution across all ICD-11 categories related to skin diseases. Unlike diagnostic tests (e.g., COVID-19 or HIV tests) that provide binary results (positive/negative), the device provides an array of ICD categories with distributed probabilities.

DeviceResult typeOutput
Diagnostic testBinary confirmationBoolean (TRUE/FALSE)
Legit.Health PlusProbabilistic distributionArray of ICD categories and distributed probabilities

The device cannot confirm the presence of a condition. This is a fundamental characteristic of its operation. The probabilistic distribution may be concentrated (leptokurtic) or dispersed (platykurtic) across categories, but the output is always a distribution across all ICD categories, never a binary result.

The device serves as a clinical decision support tool that complements healthcare professionals' expertise. Diagnostic decisions remain with the healthcare professional who combines clinical knowledge, patient history, laboratory results, and other sources of information, including the device output.

  • Device output is one element of overall clinical assessment
  • Users must be trained in device operation and output interpretation
  • Cybersecurity best practices must be followed

Contraindications:

  • Skin structures located at a distance greater than 1 cm from the eye, beyond the optimal range for examination.
  • Skin areas that are obscured from view, situated within skin folds or concealed in other manners, making them inaccessible for camera examination.
  • Regions of the skin showcasing scars or fibrosis, indicative of past injuries or trauma.

Warnings:

Critical Understanding:

The device outputs a probabilistic distribution across all ICD-11 categories related to skin diseases. Unlike diagnostic tests (e.g., COVID-19 or HIV tests) that provide binary results (positive/negative), the device provides an array of ICD categories with distributed probabilities.

DeviceResult typeOutput
Diagnostic testBinary confirmationBoolean (TRUE/FALSE)
Legit.Health PlusProbabilistic distributionArray of ICD categories and distributed probabilities

The device cannot confirm the presence of a condition. This is a fundamental characteristic of its operation. The probabilistic distribution may be concentrated (leptokurtic) or dispersed (platykurtic) across categories, but the output is always a distribution across all ICD categories, never a binary result.

The device serves as a clinical decision support tool that complements healthcare professionals' expertise. Diagnostic decisions remain with the healthcare professional who combines clinical knowledge, patient history, laboratory results, and other sources of information, including the device output.
