Communications plan
1. Meeting Format:
We will use a combination of face-to-face and online meetings to ensure
smooth collaboration and effective communication.
2. Meeting Frequency:
3. Problem Definition
List important local issues faced by your school or community
Which issues matter to you and why?
How can we help individuals in underserved communities find a way to recognize and
understand skin diseases early so that they can seek timely medical intervention and reduce
complications, leading to improved health outcomes?
The Users
Who are the users and how are they affected by the problem?
What have you actually observed about the users and how the problem affects
them?
Record your interview questions here as well as responses from users.
Here are some potential interview questions you could ask users, along with example
responses that might reflect their experiences:
1. Question: What do you know about common skin diseases (like acne, eczema, or
fungal infections)?
o Response: "I know a little about acne because some of my friends have it, but I’m
not sure about other skin problems. I haven’t heard much about how to prevent
them."
2. Question: Have you ever experienced any skin issues? How did you handle them?
o Response: "Yes, I’ve had acne for years. I tried some over-the-counter creams, but
they didn’t really help. I didn’t see a doctor because I wasn’t sure if it was serious
enough."
3. Question: Do you have access to a dermatologist or healthcare professional for
skin-related issues?
o Response: "No, it’s hard to find a dermatologist in our area, and I can’t afford to
visit one anyway. I just rely on whatever is available locally."
4. Question: How do you feel about people with visible skin conditions, like acne or
rashes?
o Response: "I think people with visible skin problems sometimes get judged or
made fun of, which isn’t fair. I’ve seen people make fun of others because of their
skin."
5. Question: Would you consider using a tool or app to help identify skin problems
early? Why or why not?
o Response: "I think it could be helpful, especially if it tells me when I need to see a
doctor. I’d probably use it if it was easy to use and didn’t cost much."
6. Question: What do you think could be done to improve awareness about skin
diseases in your community?
o Response: "It would be great if schools or local clinics offered more information
about skin care and common problems. Maybe a simple guide or pamphlet that
explains how to recognize the signs of skin issues."
7. Question: How has having a skin condition affected your daily life or self-esteem?
o Response: "It’s made me feel self-conscious, especially in social situations. I try to
cover up with makeup or avoid going out too much when my skin flares up."
8. Question: What would make it easier for you to get help or treatment for a skin
issue?
o Response: "If I could get help without having to go to a hospital or pay a lot of
money, that would be great. Maybe if there was a way to get advice online or
through a local clinic."
These questions and responses provide valuable insight into the challenges users face
regarding skin disease awareness, stigma, access to care, and their openness to using
technology for assistance.

available).
This empathy map highlights the key emotional and practical challenges faced by users, as well as
their thoughts and actions in relation to skin health. It provides insights into where an intervention,
such as an AI-based skin disease recognition tool, could make a significant difference in their lives.
What are the usual steps that users currently take related to the problem and
where are the difficulties?
1. Noticing a Skin Issue
● Difficulty: Users may not recognize skin conditions early due to lack of awareness or knowledge
about what constitutes a problem. Small issues are often overlooked or ignored.
● Difficulty: The information found may be overwhelming, contradictory, or unclear, making it hard
to determine the seriousness of the condition. Additionally, users may not know which sources are
reliable.
● Difficulty: Without professional guidance, users may choose ineffective treatments, leading to
worsening conditions. They may also misuse products that exacerbate skin problems.
5. Attempting to Self-Diagnose
● Difficulty: Users may try to self-diagnose based on symptoms found online, leading to misdiagnosis
and incorrect treatments. They lack the expertise to understand the full scope of their symptoms.
● Difficulty: Local clinics may not have dermatology specialists, leading to limited or inaccurate
advice. Long wait times or inadequate healthcare access can deter users from seeking help.
8. Receiving Treatment
● Difficulty: Treatments provided may not always address the underlying problem if the diagnosis
was incorrect. Lack of follow-up care and monitoring may lead to recurrence of the issue.
● Difficulty: Users often struggle with consistency in following treatment regimens due to lack of
understanding of proper skincare or inadequate resources for ongoing care.
10. Dealing with Social Stigma
● Difficulty: The visible nature of some skin conditions leads to social stigma, bullying, or
discrimination, especially in school or social settings, which affects users' mental health and
willingness to seek help.
These steps reflect the common path that users take, with difficulties arising at multiple stages due
to lack of knowledge, access, and support. Interventions, such as an AI tool for early detection
and education, could help address many of these challenges.
Individuals in underserved communities are experiencing issues with early detection and
management of skin diseases today because of limited awareness, lack of access to
dermatological care, and social stigma surrounding visible skin conditions.

Brainstorming
Ideas
How might you use the power of AI/machine learning to solve the users’ problem by
increasing their knowledge or improving their skills?
AI Idea Develop a mobile app that uses machine learning to analyze pictures of users’
#1 skin conditions and provide possible diagnoses, along with recommendations for
next steps (e.g., seeing a dermatologist or using specific over-the-counter
treatments). This can help users recognize early symptoms and make informed
decisions about seeking treatment.
AI Idea Create an AI-driven chatbot or virtual assistant that can interact with users, asking
#2 questions about their symptoms, analyzing images, and offering advice based on
recognized skin conditions. This can help users understand their skin issues better and
guide them on whether they should seek professional care.
AI Idea Build an AI-powered educational platform that personalizes content about skin care,
#3 common skin diseases, prevention methods, and treatment options. It can use natural
language processing (NLP) to provide simple, easy-to-understand advice, ensuring that
users from underserved communities can improve their skincare knowledge.
AI Idea Use machine learning to analyze trends in skin conditions based on geographical
#4 location, climate, and seasonal factors. This could be an educational tool that
helps users in different areas understand which skin diseases they may be more
prone to and how to prevent them, increasing awareness and reducing incidences
of preventable conditions.
AI Idea Develop an AI-driven community platform where users can connect with others
#5 facing similar skin issues. This platform can be enhanced by sentiment analysis,
offering support and reducing stigma. The AI could also offer resources and
community-generated tips or recommend experts in the user’s area based on skin
condition data.

Design
What are the steps that users will now do using your AI solution to address the
problem?
● Users download and install the AI-powered skin care education app on their mobile device or
access it through a web platform.
2. Create an Account or Log In
● Users create an account or log in to personalize their experience, allowing the AI to track their
progress and provide tailored recommendations.
● Users enter basic details such as their skin type, any existing skin conditions (if applicable), and
their general skincare concerns (e.g., acne, dryness, eczema).
● Users complete an assessment or questionnaire that gathers more specific information about their
skin concerns, lifestyle habits, and current skin condition to help the AI understand their needs
better.
● Based on the input, the AI generates personalized skin care advice, including preventive measures,
suitable products, and treatment options tailored to their specific condition.
● The app provides users with educational content, such as articles, videos, and tutorials about skin
diseases, causes, prevention, and treatment options, allowing users to better understand their skin
health.
● Users can upload pictures of their skin regularly to track the progress of their condition. The AI can
analyze changes and adjust recommendations accordingly.
● The app sends timely reminders for skincare routines, medication, or follow-up assessments based
on the user’s personalized plan.
● Users can participate in discussion forums or community support groups within the app, sharing
experiences and receiving support from others with similar skin concerns.
● If the AI detects a more serious or worsening condition, it prompts users to seek professional
medical consultation and provides nearby dermatologist recommendations based on location.
By following these steps, users will have access to continuous support, personalized advice, and
educational resources, helping them to better manage their skin health and seek timely treatment
when necessary.
