Symptone

We are Symptone, where we are on a mission to revolutionize the way medical conditions are understood and diagnosed on darker skin tones. Our organization, led by students, is dedicated to bridging the gap in medical knowledge and representation by advocating for better education and awareness around dermatological conditions, ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all. We are committed to creating a comprehensive visual database that normalizes and familiarizes the medical community with the presentation of various conditions on darker skin tones, aiming to eliminate delays and preventions in timely care. Through our student-led efforts, we write blog articles on various skin conditions specific to darker skin tones, shedding light on issues that have long been overlooked in medical research and practice. With each image captured and each condition documented, we are one step closer to a future where medical textbooks and resources embrace inclusivity. We envision a world where every individual, regardless of skin tone, sees themselves reflected in the annals of medical knowledge, empowering individuals with knowledge about their skin health and creating a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system for everyone.
