    A smartphone AI tool may make eczema scoring more consistent, but a useful photo still needs context, consent and clinical judgement.

    Key takeaways

    • AI can score four visible eczema severity signs from smartphone photos.
    • The tool may improve EASI training and reduce differences between raters.
    • A photo cannot capture your full symptom history or replace clinical judgement.
    • Use clear, consistent images and protect your privacy.
    • South African availability, pricing and medical-aid cover are not established.
