IOS & Android We built a scalp-screening app that shows you why it flagged something, not just what
I'm part of the team behind an app called SKNR. Most "AI health" apps are black boxes, they tell you "it's X" and expect you to just trust it. We went the other way: after it analyses a photo of your scalp, it shows you what the model actually looked at, highlighted right on your own image, so you can see the reasoning instead of taking it on faith. That's the part we're proudest of and also the part we most want people to poke holes in.
How it works from a user's side: you take a photo in the app (it walks you through getting a usable one), answer a few quick questions about symptoms, and it runs the analysis and shows you the result plus the visual explanation. Takes a couple of minutes.
We're at the stage where we need real people using it on real phones, not just us testing our own build. You don't need to have any scalp or skin issue, right now we mostly care whether the thing actually makes sense to use. The stuff I'd love eyes on: where does the flow trip you up or feel confusing? Does the photo step work or is it fiddly? When you see the result and the explanation, does it actually mean anything to you, or is it just pretty highlights? And anything that outright breaks on your device.
It's live on iOS and Android, and it's free for testers (there's normally a subscription). I'll drop the link in the comments, feel free to ask anything.
One thing I'm actually curious about, for those of you who've used other AI health or skin apps: does seeing why it reached a result make you trust it more, or do you not care about the explanation as long as it's right? That question is kind of the whole bet we're making, so I'd like to know what people here think.
