MDAlgorithms, an Israeli developer of mobile health apps, has developed MDacne, a new dermatology app for tracking and treating skin conditions.

Unlike other online dermatology services that charge patients a fee to schedule a visit online with a dermatologist, the MDacne app uses enable consumers to take and upload photos of their skin problem and create a personalized 30-day treatment plan based on an assessment of related clinical data stored in the companyโ€™s database of skincare conditions.

โ€œPrior apps only exchanged patient data with doctors,โ€ says MDAlgorithms CEO Oded Harth. โ€œThis app provides the stepping stone to everybody looking for a solution for skin disorders and our app places the patient in the center and allows for self-treatment.โ€
