No digital service is available to diagnose various skin diseases quickly. It is a time-consuming and costly process. Diagnosing leprosy has always been challenging; if not diagnosed on time, it can cause fatal effects. About 120,000 to 130,000 new leprosy cases are reported annually in India. India accounts for 58.8% of the global total of new cases. There’s no digital service available for people to diagnose various skin diseases quickly without being late and going through costly processes. This paper proposes an AI-based application to detect skin lesions to diagnose leprosy in a cheaper, quicker, and more effective way, which would help in rapid tests anytime, anywhere, and avoid complications from leprosy. Critical design thinking and various research methods are employed in the proposed concept. The proposed design concept is economical and sustainable, catering to many consumers.
