Symptone

Symptone is a nonprofit working to improve how medical conditions are taught and diagnosed on all skin tones-especially darker skin. It was founded by a woman of color who personally experienced how medical training often overlooks how conditions appear on non-white skin. Our mission is to make sure future doctors are trained to recognize conditions on every skin tone. We create visual resources, train educators to use them, and track how this improves care for patients of color. We’re building a community of medical educators, students, and health advocates committed to closing the diagnostic gap. By changing how healthcare professionals are trained, we’re helping to create a system where skin tone doesn’t determine the quality of care. Together, we can make healthcare more accurate, fair, and inclusive for all.
