Re: “Yeah, when human dermatologists pre-select the images to present to the algorithm...”

Not sure I understand your Comment.

Why would human dermos try to falsely improve the accuracy of diagnostic software that threatens human dermo employment?

That's like a professional poker player stacking the deck so he will LOSE money.

In any event, the number one malpractice lawsuit filed against dermos and pathologists is the massive OVER-DIAGNOSIS of skin cancer.

Digital pathology companies hire MDs to help them develop their algorithms; they work closely with programmers to improve the accuracy and broaden the range of disease states that can be recognized.

It is to these dermatologists and pathologists I was referring.
