Skin insights through artificial intelligence
How do we develop an attractive handheld product that is easy to use and provides the technology needed to create the various insights in, and advice about your skin condition? How do you measure the condition of your skin? What motivates a user to make use of this product?
Skinly is a phone-connected device that measures the condition of your skin using sensors, translating this information into insights through a back-end AI system. This system provides the user with personalized advice for skin treatment and cosmetic products, optimized for the skin and tailored per season and other influences like stress, sleep, ovulation, or emissions. It was launched in a selection of customers as part of a large study.
The development of Skinly represents a significant advancement in personal healthcare technology, combining the convenience of a handheld device with the power of artificial intelligence to provide users with real-time skin analysis and personalized care recommendations.
Process
In this process, PEZY was responsible for Front End Innovation (FEI), New Product Development (NPD) and design up to production and support throughout the life cycles. We intensely collaborated and iterated together with our Client until the product launch, resulting in a product with contact and contactless sensors to measure all the necessary different skin properties. As PEZY was integrally responsible for the management of the entire project, we fully incorporated our partners on electronics, firmware, and APP-development, next to our own mechanical development and the development of the supply chain. We closely collaborated with and advised the production party.
Result
A small, elegant, and handheld product with tactile feedback. In combination with an app, we developed a product that is capable of giving you advice about your skin through AI. The rollout began in Germany, after which our Client expanded with studies in Thailand, South Korea, and China as well as the USA. A large series of devices has now been produced.
