SkinGPT-4 is an interactive dermatology diagnostic system powered by an advanced visual large language model. Leveraging a fine-tuned version of MiniGPT-4, trained on an extensive collection of skin disease images (comprising 52,929 images) along with clinical concepts and doctors' notes, SkinGPT-4 can autonomously evaluate skin photos, identify characteristics and categories of skin conditions, perform in-depth analysis, and provide interactive treatment recommendations.
