{{Short description|AI-based skincare and nutrition recommendation system}}

'''Derma Nutri''' is an artificial intelligence-based multilingual recommendation system designed to provide affordable skincare and nutrition guidance. The system integrates deep learning, computer vision, and natural language processing to classify skin types and recommend suitable products and dietary practices.

== Overview ==
Derma Nutri aims to address challenges in skincare awareness, affordability, and accessibility, particularly in regions with limited access to dermatological expertise. The system combines facial image analysis with dietary recommendations, linking external skincare routines with internal nutrition factors.

== Features ==
* Skin type classification using deep learning
* Multilingual interaction (Telugu, Hindi, and English)
* Voice and text-based user interface
* Affordable skincare product recommendations
* Nutrition-based dietary guidance

== Methodology ==
The system uses a Vision Transformer (ViT) model to classify facial images into three categories:
* Dry skin
* Oily skin
* Normal skin

The pipeline includes:
# Image acquisition
# Preprocessing (resizing, normalization, augmentation)
# Classification using ViT
# Recommendation generation

Image augmentation techniques such as rotation, flipping, zooming, and contrast adjustment are used to improve generalization.

The model employs:
* Softmax activation for classification
* Categorical cross-entropy loss
* Adam optimizer for training

== Dataset ==
The dataset consists of approximately 15,000 facial images evenly distributed across three skin types. Data preprocessing includes:
* Removal of low-quality and duplicate images
* Filtering occluded or distorted images
* Standardization and normalization

== Results ==
The system achieved an accuracy of '''96.43%''' in skin type classification.

=== Performance comparison ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Model !! Accuracy (%)
|-
| Basic CNN || 89.74
|-
| VGG16 || 91.86
|-
| ResNet50 || 93.21
|-
| MobileNetV2 || 92.08
|-
| Vision Transformer || 96.43
|}

Evaluation metrics include:
* Accuracy
* Precision
* Recall
* F1-score

Results indicate improved performance compared to traditional convolutional neural networks.

== Applications ==
* Personalized skincare recommendations
* Nutritional planning for skin health
* Accessible healthcare tools in multilingual environments
* Cost-effective dermatological guidance

== Limitations ==
* Classification limited to three skin types
* Does not fully handle complex or mixed skin conditions
* Requires significant computational resources for deployment
* Dataset may not represent extreme environmental variations

== Future work ==
Future enhancements may include:
* Expansion to additional skin conditions and diseases
* Real-time analysis capabilities
* Personalization using user feedback
* Support for more languages
* Optimization for low-end devices
