Google Lens has been expanded with a new capability that will allow users to search for possible skin issues simply by taking a photo.
The purveying mindset behind Lens is, “if you can see it, you can search it.” Google has been building out tools to support that basic mantra so that anything seen with a camera or captured as a screenshot can be used as the basis for search.
“Describing an odd mole or rash on your skin can be hard to do with words alone. Fortunately, there’s a new way Lens can help, with the ability to search skin conditions that are visually similar to what you see on your skin,” Google says. It should be noted that Google isn’t considering this a “diagnosis” or a replacement for an actual visit to the doctor, but rather as a first step a user could take if they were concerned about an issue with their skin.In addition to searching skin conditions, Google has also added the ability for Lens users to identify major landmarks, such as buildings. Lens can tell a user what they are looking at and the provide useful links to learn more information.
