  • Publication number: 20240382148
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for estimating skin tone using a machine learning (ML) model are described. A wearable device may transmit light using a light-emitting component, and generate a signal based on the light received at a photodetector. In some examples, a strength of the received signal may be maintained within a signal strength band. The wearable device may identify a data set pair based on the signal, the data set pair including the signal strength band and a transmit power parameter that corresponds to the signal strength band. The data set pair may be inputted into an ML model and the ML model may output a skin tone metric for the user. The estimated skin tone metric may then be used to adjust measurement parameters used by the wearable device to improve a quality of physiological data, or validate algorithms used by the wearable device across skin tones.

    Abstract: Digital imaging and artificial intelligence-based systems and methods are described for analyzing pixel data of an image of user skin to generate one or more user-specific skin spot classifications. A digital image of a user is received at an imaging application (app) and comprises pixel data of at least a portion of a skin region of the user. A skin-based learning model, trained with pixel data of a plurality of training images depicting skin of respective individuals, analyzes the image to determine at least one spot classification of the user's skin. The imaging app generates, based on the at least one spot classification, a user-specific skin recommendation designed to address at least one spot feature identifiable within the pixel data comprising the portion of the skin region of the user.
