Description
Summary:The field of dermatology faces significant challenges in accurately diagnosing and treating human skin diseases. This research paper proposes a novel approach that combines Sri Lankan Ayurvedic medicine and machine learning techniques to address these challenges. Specifically, it uses deep learning models Inception, InceptionV3, and VGG16 to improve the accuracy of skin type detection, skin disease detection, and disease severity classification. The experimental results here show that the Inception Resnet model achieves an accuracy of 86% in identifying skin types, while the InceptionV3 model achieves an impressive 97% accuracy in identifying different skin diseases. Additionally, the VGG16 model achieves a remarkable 96% accuracy in classifying the severity of these diseases. utilizing the principles of ayurvedic medicine, this research further provides treatment suggestions using a random forest algorithm that demonstrates an accuracy of 94.25%. This research not only contributes to the advancement of dermatological diagnosis and treatment, but also highlights the potential of combining traditional healing practices with modern machine learning techniques for improved health outcomes.
